Some of the references in this episode:
The scene with Roboko’s schematics

…is a reference to the 1972 Mazinger Z ED: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYzzcOZQCMc
The start is right at the beginning, if you skip to 1:00 in the ED you’ll see the half cutaway drawings.
They got that down to the weird shading, which is from the technique the 1970s animators used to transfer their drawings to cels using photocopying machines. Large dark areas just turned out like that on really old photocopiers.
Roboko’s powers to shoot beams from her eyes and chest is again a reference to Mazinger Z’s powers shown in the 1972 OP www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRoF689VRE&t=31s
Oddly enough Mazinger never uses those powers, or they’re really ineffective, otherwise the episodes would have been over with really quickly.
Some references when the screen turns all CRT/raster-ized, I am not familiar with.

I’m guessing Nichijou?
