Not having to inspect bumpers would be one of my favorites. [insert grumbling about bumpers returning next year here]

Also having to turn a rookie team back because they were the first ones to arrive in the pits--before the doors were officially open for dropoff. The inspectors asked them to wait outside for a few minutes--then they were one of the first teams through the doors.

Another favorite: The look on the faces of a (different) rookie team on being informed that the award they had won qualified them for the Championship, and they would need to re-bag their robot and build a crate... Apparently they hadn't processed that part of "hey, we won Rookie All-Star!" yet.
