TETRIX® MAX Programmable Robotics Set


Build the Robot, Then Teach It to Think
PRIZM Pro Robotics Controller
Arduino-compatible programming enables students to write real C/C++ code that controls motors, processes sensor data, and executes autonomous behaviors—the same language used in professional embedded systems
Grove Sensor Suite
Included Line Finder and Ultrasonic sensors let robots follow paths, detect obstacles, and respond to their environment. Grove connectors make sensor integration plug-and-play with no soldering required
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction
670+ precision-machined components provide the structural integrity, precision fit, and professional-grade durability that plastic kits simply cannot match
Virtual Robotics Simulation
Included licenses let students design, code, and test in a virtual environment before building physical robots, reducing material waste and accelerating the learning cycle
What Students Can Do
- Write autonomous code using C/C++ and the PRIZM Pro controller
- Design and build robots with precision aluminum components
- Integrate Grove sensors for line following and obstacle detection
- Test code in Virtual Robotics simulation before physical deployment
- Debug sensor logic and optimize autonomous behaviors
- Apply the Engineering Design Loop to iterate on both hardware and software

Why Teachers Love TETRIX MAX Programmable Robotics Set
Real-World Coding Language
Students learn C/C++, the same language powering professional embedded systems, industrial controllers, and IoT devices worldwide.
Autonomous From Day One
The PRIZM Pro controller and Grove sensors let students build robots that sense, decide, and act without human input—genuine autonomous behavior, not remote control.
Test Before You Build
Virtual Robotics licenses let students code and simulate before committing to physical assembly, catching logic errors early and accelerating learning.
Professional-Grade Materials
Aircraft-grade aluminum and TorqueNADO motors ensure builds withstand years of classroom use without degrading precision or performance.
Expandable Sensor Platform
Grove connectors make it easy to add new sensors beyond the included Line Finder and Ultrasonic, expanding what students' robots can perceive and respond to.
Dedicated Support
Pitsco Education Advisors provide implementation planning, troubleshooting, and curriculum guidance throughout the school year.
