Since the 90 degree angle is of extreme importance to the Coordinator and the way it captures, you could also use a model of a Windmill with four little fans (or 'vanes') attached to the side of an upright cylinder with a segment from a paperclip for mounting purposes. When it comes to symbolism, Windmills are more modern than the brick & stone 'Castle' construction of the Middle Ages, and the Rook in chess. Of course, you might want to call the game Baroque like the rest of the world does.
