Thinking about what it would look like, I'm thinking there could be a straight path across the center of a disk, or a disk with a path that makes a sixty-degree turn, or a disk with a one-twenty-degree turn, or a forked path, or a disk with two paths. And their mirror images. I'm thinkining there should be about twelve variations, depending on how complicated I want to be with the disk designs.
To be truly random, each tile has an equal chance of turning left, right, or staying still. If the circular track had a binary counter in it that counts 00 01 10, then the tiles could have one, too... but that wouldn't be random.
I'm seeing a disk-rotation mechanism with toothless gears, but then I realize it would move cyclically.
I'm thinking I need to study how slot machines work.
