[FTC]: Matrix v. Tetrix

We're most of the way through the season and I've finally seen the Matrix kit in use. I've seen parts used on the frame and such but not the electronics and I must say I'm impressed thus far.

With the Samantha having it's own dedicated battery, that goes a great ways to preventing Radio drops. The Matrix controller seems to be better built and sealed than the Tetrix controllers. The only weakness I've heard of or seen is the metal can be a bit soft.

I'm curious about other team's experiences with Matrix Kit. The good, the bad and the brilliant.
