179: the octagonal Drivetrain with the non-inline wheels. Not sure what year it was from. 973 is also probably another inspiration for this drive, considering the name.

180/1986: Mecanum wheels used for intaking, as done on their 2012 and 2014 robots, respectively.

254/118: Not really sure about this one, besides the use of boxtubing.

1114: Lots here. The SS concept of putting a ball in a claw with rollers on the top. Also, it looks like your claw has some strong 1114 2011 influence in its shape.

1102: never heard of them, sadly, so I can't say anything about it.

How close was I?

Anyways, great design. Best of Luck!
