There are many tricks to using the Gyro sensor effectively:
  1. Make sure that your Gyro is not drifting when the robot is completely still.  If it is drifting you can unplug and re-plug the sensor while holding it completely still.
  2. When making turns and waiting for the sensor to reach a certain angle, the motors take a split second to react to the stop command and may overshoot the target angle.  You can either try to predict the overshoot and target a lesser angle (i.e try to target 85° when you want a 90° turn if there is a reliable 5° overshoot) or you can have your robot turn back slowly to recover from the overshoot.
  3. Children sometimes get confused when comparing negative numbers.  Use the graphic below to help your team members visualize the comparisons that need to be made to program effectively with the Gyro sensor.
