You may need to check facts on those three.

I'm fairly sure that I saw Sheet Metal Gears at some point in 2006, I'm sure they were done earlier at some point.

I'm not sure if 60 and 254 necessarily came up with the drop center 6WD, they did pioneer the 'West Coast Drive' though. (WCD is much more than a drop center 6WD)

Team 217 Ran a coaxial Swerve as far back as 2002. I'm not sure if they were the first, but I believe they beat 118 to the punch.

(Note, not trying to discredit anyone, I just feel like these three may not be correct.)
