"There are so many different facets to the [TETRIX] robot. Students learn about electronics - putting the motherboard and the servos in the right spot. They learn about mechanics and mechanical engineering - put the wrong piece in the wrong way and the robot isn't going to work. They can even take it a step further, adding modules to the robots so students can program their robots to do simple tasks."
