Yes, they have entered the realm of teams that have inspired new rules. As has 254, 1114, and the many other teams who used cheesy vision (or the like) as per G21's ban on such. Let's not forget the long standing traction device rule (R5), a product of various 2002 designs (mainly 71's file cards).

I was also going to mention the former blockade rule (pointless this year, hence the omission), but I cannot remember which teams were "responsible" for that addition in a competition week 4 or so update (was it 2011? or 2012?).
