Sorry for being a noob.
So how many gyroscopes could I have on a Arduino Mega 2560?Wait, I think I get is now. I can connect the sensors in parallel along the same wires like this: (not really parallel but you get what i mean)
(Taken from: Get on the BlinkM Bus with a BlinkM Cylon – todbot blog )Then I can get the data from each sensor as long as they have a unique address.
Am I correct?

Close.
I... think, your showing them using I2C to get their data, which I personally haven't played with, but as I understand, yes you hook them up in parallel like that and then depending on their addresses, you can tell them what to do with the arduino. SO that should work fine (unless your near teslacoils ofcourse) Should probably just grab 1 of your chosen gyros first (heck you might be able to get a sample if you ask nicely enough) and get it working, then start chipping away at adding more. But like I said before, your probably going to want a 3.3v arduino rather then a standard 5V one, because even though your powering the chips from your 3.3V pin, the pulses of data on your I2C bus will still be sending data up to 5 V which can break your gyros.
