973 has been using this drive since at least 2005... Not entirely sure as I wasn't on the team then, but it's inspired by the "West Coast Drive" that was first ran by 60 years and years ago most likely; If not by that, then by a team that was inspired by 60's original.

As for the arm, obviously 330... The manipulator is also heavily influenced by a championship winning team; although, the year they won is not the year that inspired the design.
