(And it let us use four CIMs on the ball collector/power-dumper. When else can you get away with that?)

You used FP motors; the lower overall power and (relatively) high speed gearing helped reduce slipping (I was intimately familiar with your bot that year).
That was a fun year to design end-effects; no lack of available power (which sometimes presented its own problems).
