Gyroc was amazing at the time and is still spoken about in hushed tones in the
UK HPR community. While it was using ADXL50 devices for acceleration, the main
gyro was an entirely custom built mechanical rotating gyro, wish I still had
some pictures of it. Now that's all on a single chip you hardly even notice on
the board :) Some pictures of it are here

I highly suggest doing some digging into the rocketry hobby (especially high
power rocketry). Or, as my wife would say, "go down the rabbit hole".

It's like software development, there's some heavy duty stuff being done by
incredibly skilled and talented people outside of work hours.

For example, this guy put a rocket over 200k feet altitude on COTS motors
