Start with something you want the robot to do, and choose a tool to use in order to accomplish the goal. Don't just reach into the toolbox, pick up something, and ask what you can do with it.
Do you want to try automatic gear shifting with traction control? Try using I2C to interface with accelerometers. Do you want to try implementing "reflex" actions like autonomously hanging a logo piece under operator command? Try using the image processing features to locate and track vision targets. Do you want to make your manipulators move quickly and precisely? Try using PID control in carefully-timed loops, perhaps implementing "gain scheduling" based on expected external forces (e.g. gravity), and analyzing sensor feedback using various published schemes to determine the optimum PID tuning.
