A conformal coating on the the PCB! Now that's a huge step in the right direction for FRC motor controllers where metal shavings always seem to find their way into motor controllers.
As a point of clarification, all of the Victors since their creation (1999) have had conformal coating. The 884 has it and so does the 888 (and so did the 883, 885, etc.).
