Craig,
Anything is feasible if you have enough time.  I have found that making a
camera do something it isn't intended to do - un-designing it - is much more
work than starting from scratch. The simplicity of a rotating camera is to
be marveled at.
Making a Rube-Goldberg kluge is entertaining but not productive.
