Apparatuses and methods for storing and dispensing elongate, flexible, medical instruments, such as endoscopes, may be configured for rotary storage and dispensing, which provides substantial advantages in space management. In particular, described herein are systems for storing and dispensing a robotic scope that include a rotatable frame to which a robotic scope (e.g., endoscope, including a nested system) may be coupled for dispensing.
