TETRIX® MAX R/C Robotics Set


One Set, 670+ Ways to Solve the Problem
670+ Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Components
Precision-machined channels, plates, brackets, gears, and axles give students the same materials used in professional prototyping and industrial robotics applications
Wireless Gamepad Controller
2.4 GHz wireless gamepad lets students drive with precision, learning real-time systems operation and spatial reasoning without the complexity of programming
TorqueNADO Motor Power
Two high-torque motors deliver the force needed for climbing, pushing, and maneuvering through engineering challenges that test mechanical design decisions
Easy Upgrade to Programming
Start with remote-controlled building and driving, then add a PRIZM controller to unlock autonomous coding—same frame, expanded capabilities
What Students Will Do
- Design and build fully functioning remote-controlled robots
- Master wireless gamepad operation for precision driving
- Optimize gear ratios, torque, and speed for specific challenges
- Iterate on designs using the Engineering Design Loop
- Navigate obstacle courses and complete timed driving tasks
- Collaborate as a team on open-ended mechanical design problems

Why Teachers Love TETRIX MAX R/C Robotics Set
Mechanical Engineering First
Students focus entirely on building and driving before adding coding complexity, creating a strong engineering foundation that makes programming meaningful when it arrives.
No Software Setup
Unbox, build, pair the gamepad, and drive. Zero software installation, zero login screens, zero IT tickets. Students are building robots within the first class period.
Professional-Grade Materials
Aircraft-grade aluminum and TorqueNADO motors mean students work with real engineering materials that withstand years of classroom use.
Investment That Grows
When your program is ready for coding, add a PRIZM controller to these same frames. Every dollar spent on R/C hardware carries forward into programmable and dual-control configurations.
Team-Ready Design
Optimized for teams of two to four, giving every student a hands-on role in design, assembly, testing, and driving.
Dedicated Support
Pitsco Education Advisors provide implementation planning, troubleshooting, and curriculum guidance throughout the school year.
