Something more along the lines of a slip ring is what your looking for. Not sure if that sort of thing is legal though, you'll have to check the rules. |
A slip ring is a beautiful solution, but our team counted out something like 27 wires, and a slip ring for that could get into the three-digit range of pricing and be difficult to find. We settled on a large excess of wire in a conduit sleeve with some piano wire, anchored just above and below the turret so it can stretch around to the motors.
Maybe a little jankity, bit it works.
