I could keep going on. Are you SURE it's not a copy of the 254/968 system?

Ok #1 Its the concept that i copied, not the design. there are many differences in my design versus 254's. While the design was heavily inspired by 254, it is not a copy. What i did was i took the concept and adapted it to suit my own needs. The Belly pan's cut out pieces are different sizes, the bearing blocks are different dimensions, work a little differently and have smaller radiuses... Pretty much all the things that you listed were concepts not total designs. Anyways who hasn't used a 254 concept in their career in FIRST.
