Exclamation Tetrix motors
Watch out! Our motor connecters were bent too much and one of them broke off. We are buying more but they are extremely expensive so be careful.

Re: Tetrix motors
Everyone should take at look at the Tetrix motor cable:

I didn't know about them until I saw teams using them at Manchester. Very helpful to protect the fragile connectors on the (exposed) end of the motors. At $2 a lot cheaper than a new motor!

Smile Re: Tetrix motors
Install zip tie strain relief on the motor feed wires which will also help.
