any way to rotate electronics without twisting up wires?
Say I wanted to have something spin around in circles constantly, but there are external wires connected to it. Any workaround?

Make circular paths on something flat, and then whatever plugs into it have metal thingamajigs sticking down to hit them. Hard to explain.

Yeah, I actually get what your saying. That might be kind of tricky because I might have 8 - 10 wires, but yeah, that's really smart.

SAme concept marshall posted, just instead of around in a cylinder they're on a flat plane. Either will work.
