USE A LAZY SUSAN.

Also known as a turret.

FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design. Get the 2006 (and 2007) version, for the game known as Aim High.

If you can't find enough turrets in there for you, then browse CD-Media.

Best part, there's already one in the kit for you.

Good luck!

look at Aim High (2006) for turret designs, im not sure about rotating but teams like 522 and 25 had amazing shooters. Our team (303) had a decent design that ended up not working because of a few minor flaws but if you can find some pictures of it in the New Jersey or Chesapeake regional that may help.

Team 111 had a very effective turret in 2006. Their bot is in the behind the design book. You can also take a look at their bot on the blue alliance:
