How do you go about countering this issue?

If you know your robots approximate speed (via a commanded PWM and verifying with encoders or such) and you command a consistent angular turn rate by a gyro, wouldn't it have to turn in a decent arc? I've been out of the loop of programming for a while, but it seems feasible to me.
