My initial experiments with gyros seems to suggest that they need to precess in order to maintain their position, which, in itself is a very interesting phenomenon.
Unfortunately, it means simply trying to hold them horizontal (as in my posted drawing) will not work. Back to the drawing board!!!!!!
Keep up the good work. We'll get there yet!
