Re: [FTC]: Tetrix structural components @ Pitsco
Folks,
I agree that FTC this year is not for the financially faint of heart; but...
I suggest taking a a second look at that Base Kit. I'm hardly an expert with 200-300 Tetrix hours under my belt; but what I do remember from the NoVaTech team putting together their showcase bot in April, makes me think that the Base Kit (plus some LEGO parts for the ends of the robot's limbs) might be a pretty good deal.
Measure twice and cut once! Prototype ideas with parts from previous competitions...
