Re: FTC - Tetrix kit vs. Matrix kit?

I've used some of the earlier Tetrix stuff (back in 2010 and 2011), and Matrix stuff more recently (this past season). The Matrix kit material is much lighter then the Tetrix, the electronics are wimpier, and a lot of the hardware is just not worth the price. Definitely go with the Tetrix.

However, with the more lax, FRC-style FTC rules nowadays, we're looking to do most of the body/frame work with custom materials (probably 1x1 box) and just using Tetrix electronics.
