Team 443 used a netbook with RoboRealm running on it to process vision data from last years game and adjust speed of our shooter. One of my favorite uses of a gyro and mecanum wheels was field relative, being able to drive straight while rotating 360 was awesome. We also used a vertical gyro to auto balance us on the bridge last year. One thing that I always thought would be cool is being able to "record" autonomous by driving in teleop and it recording the values of wheels etc... and being able to "play" that in autonomous. There was also this this small serial LCD screen we could program things to display on, like battery voltage, team number, but ever got the chance to put it on the robot.
