gyroscope project, maintain a stable turret orientation while the robot moves about under it, or turning a drivetrain to different angles.
Rangefinders (ultrasonic, IR), maintain an adjustable distance from an object.

This is exactly what I was going to say!
Try mounting some sensors onto your current robot and see what you can do with them. Write a few autonomous modes that rely on sensor input and such.
If you have robots from previous years that use sensors, that is another great teaching tool.
