Re: FTC - Tetrix kit vs. Matrix kit?

I would suggest going with Tetrix. I have experience with both Matrix and Tetrix, by far Tetrix has been the easiest one to work with. I haven't run into any issues this year with what they provide for parts. With Matrix I have run into many frustrations. The electronics do not work well at all, I am still unable to get my Matrix control box to communicate with the NXT (in LabView).

Buy Tetrix kits, they work super well, they're easy to learn and they come with a ton of resources. Just remember to order your kits ASAP.
