Typical Minibot Components?

[joachimbean]

Is there any sort of typical bundle of Tetrix parts for a minibot we could purchase?

Check here for more discussion on ordering parts.
When you get to the site mentioned in that thread, you can find the set W731900. Listed at $200 to which you have to add shipping tax etc. That set looks like the hardware supplied in first choice (now expired) option with the exception that it does not include battery, charger, motors, mounts, or switch components. You would have to itemize those items separately to get a workable basis for minibot building.

You could go with the horrendously expensive TETRIX® Education Base Set (W739143) listed at $626. However, that set contains controllers and servos generally thought to be unnecessary for minibots by many posters here on CD. And not as many mechanical bits and pieces as the resource set noted above.

To any order with a motor you should consider the TETRIX® Thermal-Protected DC Motor Power Cable (W736465) to avert the widespread motor failures reported here on CD.

Are any listed in <R92>?




I don't see any either. Therefore, not legal to use LEGO Technic parts.

The parts that came in the first choice kit, and many of the legal parts, are part of the Tetrix system. parts for this can be found here
