I was trying the firmware update from inside labview last night and it spawns browser to a page that redirects to a 404 error. 
So, the "check now" button doesn't work. 

However, you can find the latest firmware (1.03h) in the support downloads section, then apply through labview with no problems.

We found the gyro very non-intuitive. We found a slide show row a coaches call that showed how to use it with just a move block and not the turn block. I don't have all the details with me but I could send them to you later if you can't find it.

It is possible that the answer to my question is among the tremendous amount of data share in the spirit of collaboration among teams.   My team is in the process of programming the missions and the kids are having major difficulty using the gyro to make turns.   Turns expected to be 90 degrees stop at degrees approximately.   Any hints?
 
In addition, I am having no success at all getting the firmware upgraded.  When the brick connects quickly informs me to upgrade and provide directions and when I follow the link it takes me to YAHOO.
