I'm certaintly no expert but this is what I can tell you.

Drill motor is beefed up.
Robot starting positions have moved to center field
Human player interaction has decreased
Pre-Fabricated motor mounts are great and new
Automation of robots is new
Scouting is going to be mega hard this year
Crates instead of balls is new, and kinda weird I think
The rule manual is smaller than I remember(could be wrong)
Brute force won't be as much of a factor as in recent years(i think)
and finaly
Dean wasn't on a segway, I haven't seen him off one since it was invented.

Hope that helps
