• Length: 134.1 mm/5.29 inches
• Gear Ratios: 60:1
• Diameter: 37 mm

Add form and function to your TETRIX MAX robot with theTetrix Max; Gripper Kit. The integrated MAX hole pattern allows for a variety of mounting options, and the wide range will serve you well for picking up large items. The curved jaws and flat surfaces provide a more versatile gripping surface that can easily accommodate both round objects and flat objects. Removable gripper extension rails increase strength and versatility.

This motor controller connects to the PRIZM expansion port, enabling users to control up to two additional 12-volt DC motors. Up to four motor controllers can be connected to the PRIZM expansion port. There are two H-bridge outputs to control the speed and direction of two DC motors and two quadrature encoder input ports. Additional power and expansion ports support daisy-chain configurations.

Supported programming languages include Arduino and EV3. The motor controller can be connected to the LEGO EV3 Brick. Software blocks can be downloaded from the Resources tab below.

If you can dream up a design, you can build it with the TETRIX MAX Building System. TETRIX is a complete design system for students who are serious about engineering.

Featuring heavy-duty, aircraft-grade aluminum elements for construction, powerful drive motors, and expandable capabilities, TETRIX provides the ideal platform for creativity. Whether students want to build a basic square-chassis robot base with a remote control or incorporate other electronics (not included) to design a highly specific autonomous robot, this system is unlimited. Designed to provide one student or a team of students with the hardware to get started on a robotics or other build project, this starter set eliminates the worry that you might miss a needed part to finish the project.

Includes the comprehensive TETRIX MAX Builder’s Guide (hard copy and CD), a 190-page teacher’s resource packed with several model build instructions, safety information, resources, challenges, and more. Includes a variety ofTetrix Max; structural elements, DC motors, servos and hardware, gears, wheels, axles, tubing, flats and angles, and channels. It also includes a gamepad controller and batteries, rechargeable battery and charger, motor and servo controller board, and storage case with lid.

Number of Pieces: 584

Add this expansion set to your TETRIX collection to build bigger and more complex robots and complete more challenging engineering projects. This set includes 637 building elements and comes complete with a convenient storage bin.

Get the green light to race CO2 dragsters – even with a budget on the brakes. The Pitsco Education EZ Start Raceway is designed to make dragster activities easy and affordable. It comes with the EZ Start Gate and EZ Finish Gate, floor anchors, monofilament line, track hardware, detectors, and a power adapter. Lining up cars and launching them with the Start Gate is a simple operation, and the Finish Gate indicates the winner with a blinking light. The system works on a floor track or the FasTrak elevated racetrack, sold separately. It is made of durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to last for years.

TETRIX MAX Tank Tread Kit distributes weight more evenly than wheels, giving robots the traction needed to cover rough terrain or unstable ground such as sand. The treads can also be used to create conveyor belts. This kit provides everything needed to add up to 6.5 feet of tank tread to your robot. TETRIX chain links are made of highly durable acetal and snap together and apart with ease.

This high-value kit includes not only the tank tread parts but also all of the extra TETRIX parts required to attach the treads to a robot, requiring no additional parts from the TETRIX Base Set. Includes the following TETRIX components: 200 Tank Tread Chain Links, six Tank Tread Idler Wheels, four 32 mm channels, two Tank Tread Sprockets, 24 Bronze Bushings, twelve 1/8" Axle Spacers, 12 Axle Set Collars, and six 100 mm axles.
