When students are immersed in STEM and understand how it affects their futures, that’s when they really engage. TETRIX PRIME robotics offers a great tool for building STEM interest and sustaining enthusiasm as Students are challenged to solve real-world problems using critical-thinking, collaboration, and innovation skills. Its simple and intuitive design enables robotic creations to come to life quickly, meaning students can focus more on problem-solving and applying STEM knowledge.
Designed specifically for ease of use, PRIME enables students to assemble and disassemble robots within a classroom period. Its quick-fasten system makes it a great solution for teaching engineering because students can swiftly test and perform multiple design iterations.
PRIME sets come with everything needed for students to hit the ground running, including builder’s guides that teach how to build a robot and use either remote or autonomous control to get it moving within minutes.
Its versatile design, ability to integrate with multiple control systems, and curriculum support mean PRIME can grow with your students as they hone their engineering and programming capabilities. The addition of the PULSE™ controller means the classroom possibilities are endless. Learn more about PULSE by watching our introduction video.
Tetrix Prime Tee Beam Brackets connects two Square Beams so one is perpendicular to the other, creating a T. Can connect along the length of one beam to the end of another. Used in pairs with one on each side of the beams. Made of ABS plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs or Thumbscrews and Wing Nuts (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime 90-Degree Beam Connectors joins the ends of two beams at a 90° angle. This internal connector slides inside the beams to create a clean-looking and strong connection. Made of ABS plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs or Thumbscrews and Wing Nuts (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime 3-Way Connector connects the ends of three beams at 90° angles, creating a corner. Made of ABS plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs or Thumbscrews and Wing Nuts (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime Tee Beam Connectors joins the ends of three beams at 90° to create a tee joint, while keeping the joint neat looking. Made of ABS plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs or Thumbscrews and Wing Nuts (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime Beam End Connectors are used to join a beam end to a beam side at a 90° angle. Made of acetal plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs and a Thumbscrew (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime; Beam Straight Connectors connects two square aluminum beams end to end, adding one beam width in between. Made of ABS plastic; requires Quick Rivets and Pegs or Thumbscrews and Wing Nuts (all sold separately).
Tetrix Prime Straight Block Beam Connectors join aluminum beams in parallel, with one beam width between, to enable creative design options. Made of acetal plastic; requires a Tetrix Prime; Thumbscrew, sold separately.
Tetrix Prime 90-Degree Cross Block Connectors joins two aluminum beams with one beam width in between at a 90º angle. Made of acetal plastic; requires a Thumbscrew, sold separately.
Tetrix Prime Quick Rivet Connectors should be used in conjunction with Quick Rivet Pegs (sold separately). The use of the Quick Rivets and Pegs allows you rapid assemble and disassemble structures – enabling you to try many different designs in a snap. This is a huge plus for classrooms with minimal time and storage. Plus, this connector also accepts the LEGO Connector Peg, so it's simple to attach LEGO components to a PRIME robot. Made of ABS plastic.
Tetrix Prime Quick Rivet Pegs are used to lock Quick Rivets in place, resulting in a secure and tight connection. Each Quick Rivet requires one peg; easily removed and reused. Made of ABS plastic.
Tetrix Prime Wing Nuts are used with PRIME Thumbscrews (sold separately) to provide positive fastening of PRIME elements. Made of acetal plastic.
Tetrix Prime 90MM Wheel with Tire gets your robots rolling. These 90 mm wheels are made of sturdy acetal and include a built-in hub. A rubber tire is also included for better traction. For best results, use a Socket Head Cap Screw (sold separately) for positive fastening to Steel Axles (sold separately).
Tetrix Prime 40 Tooth Gears are a step above other plastic gears – these are made to attach to steel shafts and connect Tetrix Prime; Square Beams. Made of sturdy acetal. For best results, use a Socket Head Cap Screw (sold separately) for positive fastening to Steel Axles (sold separately).
These gears are available in packages of two.
Tetrix Prime 80 Tooth Gears are a step above other plastic gears – these are made to attach to steel shafts and connect Tetrix Prime; Square Beams. Made of sturdy acetal. For best results, use a Socket Head Cap Screw (sold separately) for positive fastening to Steel Axles (sold separately).
Tetrix Prime 6MM x 80MM Steel Axles allow you to attach wheels and gears with precision-ground steel axles. The D profile keeps wheels and gears from spinning on the shaft. 6 mm diameter.
