The floor that year was slippery (not carpet). By rotating the spinning flywheels, teams could force their robot to turn better.

Try it yourself: Sit in a spinnable office chair with a bicycle wheel, and pull your feet off the ground. Give the wheel a good spin, then twist it and see what happens. Same principle.

Re: Looking for team that used gyroscope in 2009

My team's robot spun our fly-wheel up to about 400-500 rpm and then forced a wedge of high friction wood between our wheel and the wheel mount. This caused our robot to spin ~120 degrees with the trailer and thus avoiding a super-cell (which was worth 20 points for those that do not know).
