Allow me to point out that if we can't see the concept (a
third of it is missing), there is no way that we can tell if it's revolutionary or not. It may be that several teams have already done something--in that case it's NOT revolutionary unless there is something completely new.
What it is is it's a pivoting drivetrain section. If there is something else that is part of the drivetrain, that makes it different from any other pivoting drivetrain like an octocanum or the pivot-shifters of yesteryear, then it's either not put in or very well camouflaged.
Unless those two bolts at the near visibility side indicate modularity, that is, the ability to swap it out for another module in drivetrain, I think you need to raise the stakes significantly--say, pay $100 and hire whoever guesses correctly to decipher the game hint for you. (Incidentally, the modularity concept could run you into some trouble if you don't do it right--all modules go through inspection at the same time.)
