Yes. Avoid the heck out of slip rings. They're expensive and require more engineering time than they're worth.
This would be difficult to do if balls are going through the center of the turret. Have you considered pre-coiled wire? If you anchor it to take the stress of the motor leads, it would stretch during rotation and relax during counter rotation.
