Re: Why you WANT to use a Gyro this year

AFAIK, you need to use the Z-axis to prevent contamination of your tilt sensing with actual XY acceleration of the robot. You would have to use the X axis if you wanted to do roll sensing, but for a system where you're using a gyro to align yourself, you should only need the z axis.
