I know that the “snail bot” design has been around since at least Round Up:

Round up chinese team?

Hi all, During the worlds (2011) there was this chinese teams robot (not sure of its number) that had an almost “snail” like design where it would intake the rings at ground level and spit them back out at the top of the curved structure. we think it is 4285 but we are not too sure about this Does anyone know what team this robot is from/ what their site is (assuming they have a robot site) Cheers

And there was a team (40B) in Elevation that used a similar design (albeit different in some ways) that looked like a snail:

Cool

Sorry… I remember wrongly - it was in 2011.

And @RoboCatz just posted an even earlier snail that I have forgotten.

I’ve just been calling them hoods. To me the hood doesn’t really spiral enough to be a snail, but I do see the resemblance lol.
