The TETRIX metal hole patterns aren't simple, ergo it is difficult to make a simple effective robot that uses the TETRIX metal as its frame. Einstein's daughters (and many others I'm sure) who 'appear' simple are so because of the extra materials allowed for use in FTC. Their 2009-2010 robot was a perfect example.
