Here's 33's whitepaper on their design. 383 also uploaded videos of their ridiculous unsafe testing procedure to Youtube; they should still be around. Searching for 148's robot Armadillo should also get you some video of their hanger at work; their CAD should also be in CD-Media.

Keep in mind you should only be using these for reference. The 54" rule complicates these designs a lot this year, and the reduction/motor(s) you'll need will be entirely dependent on your climbing design.
