There's not actually a lip that high for the ball. That was simply a work plane put through the middle of the ball to help make placing it in the bot easier. There are a couple of 1/8 inch angle underneath the ball to hold it in.

It is a lazy susan! We got all of the parts for the Andymark Turret, and only had to source the correct size bearing for it. So far, it seems to work great!
