Re: [FTC]: Common failures with TETRIX

Oddly enough, we never ran into any of these problems at all, despite really beating on our robot sometimes. (IE falling off the ramp, high speed collisions, motors getting stuck and still trying to move.)

So either we got really lucky, or you got really unlucky. I have heard lots of stories about damaged parts, but that could be a case of a vocal minority.

1) I would like to be able to choose whether the motor controller goes in the sensor port or the motor port, we wanted to use 4 sensors, but we only used 2 NXT motors. If thats not possible with the hardware, OK, there is nothing that can be done.

2) A part that is like the flat bracket but shorter would be very useful.

3) I think new kits should include 2 motor controllers by default. Having only 1 controller severly limits your options.

4) Cheapers gear. Even if they have to be plastic.
