Steering control without a gyro

Consider that the 12V from your robot isn't any different from the 12V from your car's cigarette lighter. (Err... sorry... that's "power port" these days, thank goodness.) - dtengineering [more]

Steering control without a gyro

Ou original plan was to use a gyro chip to implement basically a PID loop to make steering on the slippery floor more reliable. However, this was set back when our electrician accidentally let the smoke out of our gyro, and it appears that there is no way we can purchase a new competition-legal gyro.

So, does anyone have any ideas on how we could do this without the gyro?
