Seeking Feedback: Arduino Compatible Shields to Include in Upcoming MicroZed Roadtest

I am getting ready to launch a MicroZed Roadtest. the carrier board for this roadtest contains connectors for Arduino Compatible Shields. I just wanted to get your feedback on shields to consider including.

 

So, here is the roadtest:

Here are two shields I am considering to include:

arduino 9 axis shield

arduino env shield

If you have the time, I'd appreciate your feedback.

 

Thanks.

    A watch-out: the gas-humidity-temp shield will not operate ok with the MicroZed. The PCB layout of the carrier card prevents the free air flow that this shield needs.

    The motion shield looks pretty interesting.  Another thought might be something along the lines of a motor driver shield so you could some robotics.
