Re: Where can I buy Gyros that fit requirments?

you could use the Analog Devices ADXRS150EB which has a +/- 150° per second rate, or the Analog Devices ADXRS300EB which is +/- 300° per second

we are using the 150 on our bot - you connect +5 V and Gnd to a couple pins I think there are 2 +5V pins - and the signal that is produced if perfect for the analog inputs to the Robot controllers - roughly 0 to 5 volts

I got a pair from Avent electronics for $50 each - I dont know if future or digikey has them in stock - their prices were higher.

search on ADXRS150EB here on CD - you will find several threads discussing how to use them.
