Key Features are:

-Direct Drive
-Inline system
-CAMS
-Sliding Bearing Blocks
-Small Wheels (We goofed, big wheels are ugly  )
There are a few other tidbits, but that should sum it up.

Yeah, small wheels are amazing: they can potentially reduce a sizeable amount of weight. I would have perfered to use small wheels on our robot this year, with 8wd instead of 6, but it all worked out in the end. I was wondering though, I don't remember 254 or 968 ever using cams. Do you have a picture? Also, to add on to your list, just some things that are also really nice:
-2 speed
-Custom gearboxes
-Custom wheels
