SKU: SKU:43053

Students write C/C++ code that makes a real robot navigate, sense, and respond to its environment—no gamepad, no remote. With a PRIZM Pro controller, Grove sensors, and 670+ aircraft-grade aluminum components, this set turns programming concepts into physical results students can see and measure. The included TETRIX Virtual Robotics curriculum also works with Spark the AI Assistant, an optional add-on that helps students work through code problems without handing them the answer.

Build the Robot, Then Teach It to Think

The PRIZM Pro controller and Grove sensors transform 670+ aluminum components into an autonomous machine your students programmed themselves. Virtual Robotics licenses let them test code in simulation before deploying to the physical robot.

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

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

Works with Spark the AI Assistant

Optional add-on that guides students through code problems with questions, not answers.

What Students Can Do

Teams of two to four combine mechanical design with real programming to build robots that sense, decide, and act autonomously—developing the exact skill set that modern robotics and automation careers demand.

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

From Assembly to Autonomous Operation

Step 1: Build Your Robot—Assemble 670+ aluminum components with TorqueNADO motors and mount the PRIZM Pro Robotics Controller using the builder's guide.

Step 2: Connect Sensors—Plug Grove Line Finder and Ultrasonic sensors into the PRIZM Pro controller's Grove ports—no soldering, no wiring diagrams.

Step 3: Write Your First Code—Open The Pitsco Learning Portal, connect via USB or bluetooth, and write C/C++ code that controls motor speed, direction, and sensor responses.

Step 4: Test in Simulation—Use Virtual Robotics licenses to test and debug your code before deploying to the physical robot.

Step 5: Deploy and Iterate—Upload code to PRIZM Pro, watch your robot navigate autonomously, and refine both hardware and software through the Engineering Design Loop.

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.

Help When Students Get Stuck

Add Spark the AI Assistant and every student has a guide that asks questions instead of giving answers, right inside the TETRIX Virtual Robotics platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What coding language does the PRIZM Pro controller use?

PRIZM Pro is Arduino-compatible and supports C/C++ programming through The Pitsco Learning Portal. Students write real code—not drag-and-drop blocks—that controls motors, processes sensor data, and executes autonomous behaviors.

Can I add remote control later?

Yes. Purchase a wireless gamepad and Tele-Op Control Module separately to add R/C driving capability to your existing Programmable set, effectively creating a Dual-Control configuration.

Do students need prior programming experience?

No. The included programming guide introduces coding concepts from the ground up, and Virtual Robotics simulation lets students experiment safely before deploying code to physical hardware.

What sensors are included?

The set includes a Grove Line Finder Sensor and a Grove Ultrasonic Sensor. Additional Grove-compatible sensors can be added to expand what the robot can detect and respond to.

How many students can work with one set?

Two to four students work optimally with one set. For full-class deployment, the Programmable Getting Started Package (43417) includes six complete sets for up to twenty-four students.

What does access to the TETRIX Virtual Robotics licenses entail?

Access to TETRIX Virtual Robotics simulation software allows students to design, code, and test robots virtually before building and programming physical hardware.

Can I add an AI assistant for my students?

Yes. Spark the AI Assistant is an optional add-on, sold separately, that works inside the TETRIX Virtual Robotics curriculum included with this set. It guides students with questions, not answers, and each student gets 10 prompts per 24 hours by design. Spark is licensed per student: a Class License covers 24 students plus 1 teacher for one year.
