Combining the quick prototyping capabilities of the TETRIX® PRIME building system with the strength and ruggedness of the MAX parts, this unit focuses on activities and builds that might be used in manufacturing plants. Using a PULSE™ controller and TETRIX Ardublockly software along with various sensors, students program a work cell robot to accomplish tasks that might normally be found in a manufacturing environment. By combining parts from the two products, students build quick prototypes with the strength to accomplish automated activities that address STEM standards.
