“For school districts . . . already engaged in a robotics and computer literacy curriculum, the TETRIX PRIME/PULSE combo neatly fills the niche between elementary school graphic programming with tightly controlled hardware builds and upper-division high school text programming with builds limited only by the imagination.”

– Ron Wright, retired teacher, Camas, Washington

“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.”

– Sergeant First Class Geoffrey Allen, Massachusetts Army National Guard, recruiting and retention battalion, Bedford, MA

“TETRIX systems are easy for our students to use. Also they are well made and hold together better then a lot of the other robotic kits that we use. TETRIX makes a great product that is well built to last longer than our other robotic kits that we purchase.”

– Eric Franz, CTE technical support, Yakima (WA) School District
