4 identical motors completely opened up the drivetrain possiblities.
The gear tooth sensors were cheap and reliable and a great addition to the kit.
The announcer (at least on Newton) telling teams the battery was low or robot turned off, etc was embarassing, but very helpful for debugging.
The banked radios were great.
All members of the alliances in the eliminations were equal, you never had 1 team that would have to sit out and feel like a lesser member.
Simple is better, ie KISS.


BTW, if you want a long tether, cheap, e-mail sanddrag (see his signature). We have 2.
