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.
You seem to be missing the point. What style of bearing block you use or how big the cutouts are doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the design. If I took this design, changed around what type of bearing blocks were used, changed the shape of the lightening holes in the belly pan, and used a different shaft size, would it be a different design?
