The TETRIX MAX Programmable Robotics Set contains the PRIZM Robotics Controller and the building elements needed for students to engineer, code, and test solutions using real-world robotics technology. Designed to provide one student or a team of up to four students with the hardware to create autonomous robots, this set is complete with two sensors and a programming guide that introduces the basics of coding through a series of hands-on projects.
Includes:
If you can dream up a design, you can build it with the TETRIX MAX Building System. TETRIX is a complete design system for students who are serious about engineering.
Featuring heavy-duty, aircraft-grade aluminum elements for construction, powerful drive motors, and expandable capabilities, TETRIX provides the ideal platform for creativity. Whether students want to build a basic square-chassis robot base with a remote control or incorporate other electronics (not included) to design a highly specific autonomous robot, this system is unlimited. Designed to provide one student or a team of students with the hardware to get started on a robotics or other build project, this starter set eliminates the worry that you might miss a needed part to finish the project.
Includes the comprehensive TETRIX MAX Builder’s Guide (hard copy and CD), a 190-page teacher’s resource packed with several model build instructions, safety information, resources, challenges, and more. Includes a variety ofTetrix Max; structural elements, DC motors, servos and hardware, gears, wheels, axles, tubing, flats and angles, and channels. It also includes a gamepad controller and batteries, rechargeable battery and charger, motor and servo controller board, and storage case with lid.
Number of Pieces: 584
This set includes everything you need for students to start building remote-controlled and autonomous-controlled robots with the TETRIX PRIME system.
Includes:
Expand the horizons of your TETRIX PRIME R/C Starter Set. Engineer bigger, more advanced robots, increase the robustness of builds, and combine all the Tetrix Prime; components using the additional parts and pieces included in the Tetrix Prime; Expansion Set.
The Tetrix Prime; Expansion Set comes with three major parts that will provide students more design options for their robots:
The TETRIX PRIME Getting Started Package offers the ultimate robotics experience. Teams of two work to design fully functioning, remote-controlled robots, with each student pair having access to both a Tetrix Prime; R/C Starter Set and a Tetrix Prime; Expansion Set. The included Instructional Build DVD for Tetrix Prime; Robotics and Engineering Design Loop Poster Set provide an added bonus to the builder’s guides.
The Getting Started Package includes:
Tetrix Prime Gripper Kit enables you to build a gripper for your Tetrix Prime; robot. After it is built, the gripper can easily be added to a robot, using a thumbscrew and wing nut. Gripper jaws open to 63 mm to pick up objects. Comes with necessary hardware and screws. Requires assembly and a standard servo, sold separately.
This set includes what you need for students to start building programmable robots with the TETRIX PULSE Robotics Controller.
Includes:
This set has everything you need to turn a TETRIX PRIME R/C Robotics Set into a Tetrix Prime; Programmable Robotics Set.
Includes:
TETRIX PULSE is a programmable robotics controller specifically developed for the Tetrix Prime; system that is powerful yet easy to use and, when combined with the TETRIX Ardublockly software and Arduino Software (IDE), can provide an ideal learning tool for teaching graphic or syntax-based coding.
TETRIX Ardublockly is drag-and-drop block-based graphic coding software used to program the PULSE controller. In addition, the PULSE controller can be programmed with a syntax-based coding method using the Arduino Software (IDE) and the PULSE Arduino Library.
The TETRIX PULSE Robotics Controller features the following:
The TETRIX PRIZM Robotics Controller is a fully integrated, programmable brain for your bot that features a variety of motor, servo, encoder, and sensor ports with convenient connectors that enable you to control your robot's behavior like never before. This controller offers the best of both worlds – a learning tool that is powerful yet easy to use. With PRIZM you can take learning to new heights by creating robots that are smarter, more precise, and as real world as it gets.
The controller is specifically developed for use with theTetrix Max; building system and comes with programming support for theArduino Software (IDE), which is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, and Linux devices that have a USB port.
The PRIZM Robotics Controller features:
1/8L Shaft Spacer Pack is handy when you need a little space between wheels, gears, and other elements on axles.
120T Gear is a step above kits and systems with plastic gears. These are made of heavy-duty aluminum and really stand up to wear and tear.
144mm Angle Beam features structural pieces with 90º angles and heavy-duty aluminum construction. Can be cut to custom lengths with a metal-cutting blade.
145MM Tube Pack is light and strong with tubes that can be used as long extensions. Made of heavy-duty aluminum, they can also be cut to custom lengths with a metal-cutting blade.
Hex stand-off posts; female/female, 6-32 thread. Four sizes available. Sold in packages of 12.
16 Tooth HUB Sprocket Pack is made from heavy-duty aluminum for maximum performance under heavy loads. TETRIX sprockets are available in three different ratios and designed to work with the 0.250" TETRIX steel chain. Sold in packages of two.
