1) Kill Switches: It's always a good idea to add drive/device kill switches.(If you have the time)

2) Limit switches can prevent an appendage from destroying itself. Last year my team constructed a poorly designed arm with the ability to destroy it self, limit switches are the only reason while that robot is still in one piece.
