Back in my day. We didn't have all these choices.
It was Tetrix or nothing.
Tetrix has it's flaws. However, having messed with Matrix a little bit this past season. I think I'll be sticking with Tetrix until I see a need for some small matrix components. The V2 motors are the best revision yet. Even I haven't burnt one out yet. (I was very good at killing V1 motors.)

Our robot is the one that the Y-NOT bot's team is face towards most of the match. It's pretty cool to me that it seems that 92 and 3864 came to very similar conclusions on the best way to score blocks. It was sad that we never played together in San Antonio.
Finally a throw back to my first season as captain of GForce. (Now Global Force). We had some pretty stellar rookie results. (World Championship Winning Alliance).

I'll be at IRI as well. Volunteering more than likely.
