Gyroscopic Sensor Recommendations?

As you may know, I'm building a humanoid robot. I'm looking for a good gyroscopic sensor that could fit into my robot (the new back allows a bit more space, so if it's bigger it could fit) and is easier to code (I need it to stabilize the robot and tell it to get back up if it falls over). I've been looking at a gyroscopic 3-axis sensor at radioshack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12310182 Would this be easy to work with? Thanks a bunch!:D

EDIT: Also, this is the distribution block i'm getting for my 4 micro servos. How would I connect the ground/power to this and the signal to the EZ-B, and the battery to the distribution block? Once again, thanks. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103983&locale=en_US

Specs are on the EZ-B V4 page in the store (however, since they were still refining the design when the store page went up this is subject to change)

Quote:

120MHz 32-bit Cortex M3 ARM Processor Small Size (2.1" x 2.2") Wi-Fi connectivity Resettable fuse protection Reverse polarity protection 1 x Amplified Speaker for Speech and Music 8 x 5 volt tolerant Analog (ADC) ports 24 x 5 volt tolerant Digital ports (servos, PWM, and more) 3 x i2c Port 1 x EZ-Robot Camera Port 1 x High Speed UART Port

It has also been discussed and explained in some depth in the forums here amongst bits and bobs in other topics.

Yes the key words " Coming Soon " don't get me wrong but I'd rather not know it even exists until it is ready, completely ready !

It reminds me of another thing I rant about , NEW MOVIES , like coming JUNE 2015 , hell I may be dead of old age by then!

Well for now I'll continue with my V3 EZ-B and my Atom BotBoard.
