Last year we used these on our turret:

Poke around their website. They have a very wide selection. I'd probably go a step or two up from the 400 lb one if you are supporting an arm: the cantilever and shock loads on them can be quite high.
I second this lazy susan. My team used the one on FIRST Choice at first last year until our robot took a dive -- the bearings fell out. We then found this lazy susan to replace the broken one. It is built much better, and can take side loads better.
