From building tips to
competition information,
www.TETRIXrobotics.com offers visitors full access to
investigate, build, and program robotic creations using TETRIX™ by Pitsco.
TETRIX is a
complete building system for students who are serious about engineering.
Featuring heavy-duty aircraft-grade aluminum elements for construction,
powerful drive motors, and expansion capabilities, TETRIX is the ideal platform
for robotics creativity.
Now educators, students, and robotics enthusiasts can
learn quickly and easily about the design system and its seemingly limitless
possibilities when they visit the official TETRIX Web site – www.TETRIXrobotics.com.
Educators discover how to integrate the TETRIX design system with the LEGO
®
MINDSTORMS
® NXT robotics system, allowing students to take their
robotics creations to the next level.
Educators are provided the knowledge to successfully
implement TETRIX powered by MINDSTORMS into a robotics and STEM classroom through
the use of hardware, software, curriculum, and professional development options.
Building instructions, downloadable program blocks, and
videos assist with this process. In addition, a TETRIX Creator’s Guide is also featured.
Students gain knowledge about the building system through
various resources including a parts identification table, construction tips,
safety information, printable downloads, image galleries, and more.
A section devoted completely to the
FIRST Tech Challenge, the mid-level robotics competition hosted by
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition
of Science and Technology), is linked prominently from within the site’s
header.
Competitions are an excellent avenue for students to gain
hands-on science and technology experience while solving real-world challenges.
A complete overview of the
FIRST Tech
Challenge program and photos of competition bots are featured.
