Gyroscopes are used when you want to know how fast or how much something is turning.
In US submarines, the ships internal navigation system (SINS) uses gyroscopes. The gyros in the SINS keep track of the location of the submarine by following course changes (detected by the gyros) and time and speed on a given course. Crunc...
It is a device that is used to measure or maintain orientation. It is widely used in satellites, aeroplanes, etc. It works on the principle of angular momentum. Read the Wikipedia article (URL below), it has all the information on gyros tha...

You can always build a gyroscope. You have permission. If you build the mechanics of the gyroscope, then you will need to spin it very fast, and this is a big project. I don't know why you mention the RC car, unless you are talking about th...
