Go to Post Dear Mr. Lavery, Congratulations. For the fourth year running, you have successfully ruined my Christmas holiday with your untimely release of a most obfuscating, but no less tantalizing, hint. - dubious elise [more]

To be fair though, if you get a Tetrix kit, you get essentially a Lego set with no instructions to work with. There isn't nearly as much machining and hand tools work to be successful in FTC (this is coming from someone who mentored ten FTC teams last year, two of which won both qualifiers they competed at).

Personally, I love both of the programs dearly, but having worked with both, I wouldn't take the time to compare them. They're different tools in the STEM education toolbox.
