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!
It's never been about the robots. But the robots make an interesting misdirection that we all use. So its ALL about the robots. :rolleyes: - Foster [more]
