I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of it, but I'll see if someone else on my team who has a bit more knowledge with it can comment here.

Until then... stay tuned!

Elgin, I believe the original post is talking about a mechanical gyro. I think you are talking about the electrical gyro sensor.

Yep.. I was thinking the KOP Gyro sensor, & not a home-made one. Oops!

we tried to have "gyroscopic steering" but then it was giving us problems so we decided to fix it in one place and use it as a flywheel and it helped us a lot

1388's gyro won a well-deserved technical award and definitely gave their machine an edge on the field.
