Good question, I would guess not. The AXEL rover project was ended shortly afterwards (Their technical lead left to SpaceX). I hope that someday a derivative of that is used on Mars, because accessing the sides of cliffs is very important to understand the geological timelines. As far as the drill goes, I don't think anyone will look at it as inspiration for future projects. It was made as a cheap demonstration project. I'm sure there will be drills like it, but I don't think they will be derived from this.
