Rate Gyro recommendation needed

I would appreciate it if someone could help me pick a rate Gyro for a robot I am working on:
ideally, the electrical connections would be very simple: something like an input connection for power (~5 V) and an analog output in the range 0-> 5 V proportional to my robot’s turning rate. I need to be able to measure turning rates from about .1 RPM-> 10 RPM (.6 degrees/s -> 60 degrees/s). Both clockwise and counterclockwise. Price ~$100 or less.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Joe

Thanks for the reply. Exactly what I was looking for. (Even more so, the 150 degree per second version, but they seem to be out of stock). I will follow up.
Regards,
Joe
