Comments.Text: I'm going to chime in that at least with the EV3 Gyro, there is a weird glitch where if the Gyro is moving/turning at all when you start your program, it will think that that is "normal" movement, and throw your system that's using the Gyro out of whack.  I'm not sure if the Hitechnic has that problem as well.
