Tetrix aren't as bad as you think. The Loose Screws (FTC 5237) used tetrix and we didn't burn any in competition. The last one we burnt was when we tested our lift and we continued to power it even though it was at the top.

Even when we broke those gearboxes in ring it up, the motors were perfectly fine.

There are also four other FTC teams in Bedford, and I haven't heard of them burning out motors.
