Re: FTC - Tetrix kit vs. Matrix kit?

The rookie FTC team I worked with this past year decided on Matrix. I believe they were the only matrix team at three or maybe even four of the events they attended (two qualifiers, MN State, and Super Regional)

We were not impressed by the Matrix plastic gears and wimpier axles, so ended up getting some parts machined by a local company that allowed us to interface some Matrix motors to Tetrix gears and then AndyMark 4" wheels. It ended up working fairly well (as you can guess by the events we attended)

The plastic push pin rivets do allow for quick prototyping of structures and can be very handy.
