Relying on gravity to do anything other than to give your robot weight. If it moves down (an arm, an elevator, a ball in a hopper), make it powered.

Ditto scissor lifts and "many-to-one" hoppers. I've seldom (but not never) seen implementations of each that were effective.

Mecanum wheels are on the verge of making the list, too (for the same reason).
