How to wire included sensors

This is the first year that we'll actually be using the sensors given to us by FIRST and I'm wondering how one would go about wiring them. The accelerometer looks like I could just solder on the male end of a few PWM cables and be set, but I'm not too sure what to do with the gyro. I remember from previous years the gear tooth sensors required power from the main board to run and I'm not sure if that's the case with these new sensors. We'll also be using the two included optical encoders. I'm pretty sure I understand those, the A and B channel are signal lines with common ground and power. And all these are connected as analog inputs, right? Three channels for the accelerometer, one channel for the gyro, and two for each optical encoder.

EDIT:
I took another look at the sensor manual but that didn't help very much.

2ND EDIT:
Also I would definitely take any suggestions for building a shaft to mate with the spindles of the optical encoders from the Kit of Parts. I see that they have small grooves so that would could probably machine an axle with ridges on it to fit the grooves.
