Unless I am really blind, FIRST has never given us connetors for the gyros. you need to solder (gasp!) wires to the connector on the gyro.

I believe that FIRST provided the GYRO connector/wires in the packet of information handed out at the kickoff - they were not in the kit. The seat and window motor connector/wires were in there also.
