It looked like they combined the motor and servo controllers into a single housing and the comm wires controllers appeared to be the same ones (with the RJ12 connectors) used with the NXT.

Other than that I didn't get a lot of details. Didn't even get the voltage of the power supply/battery, so how power distribution would work with Tetrix is still an open question unless someone knows. Hopefully it would not require a separate battery & on/off switch for students to remember. I hope that FIRST would provide a power distribution panel to handle such a situation?
