Faster Way to Scan with the Rev 2M Distance Sensor?
Photon FTC implements some of these changes (https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC) specifically check out the new driver (VL53L0X the name of the chip used in the 2m sensor) (https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC/blob/main/PhotonCore/src/main/java/com/outoftheboxrobotics/photoncore/Neutrino/Rev2MSensor/Rev2mDistanceSensorEx.java)

Multithreading
It's been a while since I've dived into the SDK. If you have specific questions on the thread lock, there's several people on the discord that know how the thread locking works very well. I haven't tested it myself, cause it came out after I graduated, but Eeshwar developed software to overcome the lock and speed stuff up by doing calls asynchronously. It's still better to limit to a single thread though. https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC

Cable connecting control hub and expansion hub broke
Yeah saw it a lot when control hub first came out. Now see people use it for the acceleration from photon - https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC. I believe it is legal.

PhotonFTC Questions
We tested the PhotonFTC (v2.0.1 as we're still on SDK 8.0) software. After adding the recommended repository and dependency statements to the teamcode build.gradle, and changing minimum android SDK to 24, we reran the testing opmode, in two ways: 1) No PhotonCore.enable() statement, and 2) with a PhotonCore.enable() statement. The result was: (1) loop time, reading all four sensors, was 30-35ms; and (2) also 30-35ms.

What would you say is one of the most useful yet unknown tools for FTC?
For autonomous in addition to drive encoders or dead wheels for position estimation, teams have found that using distance sensors can be used to relocalize. Distance sensors however often require you to make a ton of very time expensive calls. Team 7244 developed a library called photon that helps remove a ton of this delay, as well as enabling a higher precision mode on the rev 2m distance sensors. https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC

We have a new mechanic in the team...
I second the recommendations. The folder with the functional opencv pipeline is here. https://github.com/FTCLib/FTCLib/tree/master/core/vision/src/main/java/com/arcrobotics/ftclib/vision
