Claim 16:
17. A gyroscope, comprising:
a first proof mass coupled to an underlying substrate and configured to move along a resonator axis;
a drive structure comprising a first plurality of electrodes and configured to drive the first proof mass along the resonator axis;
a sense structure comprising a second plurality of electrodes and configured to move along a second axis perpendicular to the resonator axis;
and wherein the gyroscope is isotropic such that the resonator axis and the second axis may be switched such that when the resonator axis and the second axis are switched, the drive structure is configured to drive the first proof mass along the second axis perpendicular to the resonator axis and the sense structure is configured to move along the resonator axis.
