The Tetrix system uses aircraft grade aluminum for base construction and the field control system is from Logitech. Students will first build a base robot from guided instructions and add attachments of their own design in order to complete certain tasks. An arm needs to be designed that can lift itself and 50 grams. They must also design a swivel arm capable of turning a hand crank to raise a flag. Their robots will be remotely controlled but they will have to frame the program that operates the Logitech controllers.

Students with advanced skills will be encouraged to use an array of sensors with their robot to guide the robot around the field.
