-28mm (and/or 32mm) "L" brackets (32mm C-channel minus one side)
(we use these last two [we make them from the larger parts] to build primary structure by connecting C-channels to each other--28mm will go inside the openings of the C-channels)
-28mm stand-offs (we would use these to reinforce C-channels by "closing the box") (32mm would be nice too)
I'd add:

Worm gears
Universal joints
Racks
Ruggedized DC motors
Hinge w/Tetrix bolt pattern

Also, a part that my team found very useful is the omni wheel connector hub. We use them to reinforce/space bushings where they pass through the Tetrix channel and it would be nice to be able to buy them as a stand alone piece.
