The board comes with 3 IMUs no less:
MPU6000: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and temperature sensor.
MPU9250: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and temperature sensor
LSM9DS0: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and temperature sensor.
MS5611-01BA03: Barometer that includes pressure and temperature sensors.

What can you do with 3 IMUs that you can't do with a simple $2 Inversense 6050 ?
I'm not quite sure but one of my personal interests is IMU odometry (double integration of acceleration. currently impractical due to dramatic accumulation of error). With 3 IMUs in sync maybe something new can be done ?
