TETRIX MAX Ranger Build

This RoboByte is bringing you more from our Motion category of TETRIX Max parts. We're talking all aspects of the TETRIX MAX Standard-Scale Servo Motor and the TETRIX MAX Continuous Rotation Servo. Whether you need a continuous motion from 0-180 degrees or continuous frontward and backward movement, with a multitude of compatible mounting options, these servos will help you achieve your robot motion goals.

If you need your robot to traverse rough terrain, cover unstable ground, or maneuver over obstacles, tank treads are your answer. Learn more about the TETRIX MAX Tank Tread Kit in this RoboByte, including more about how treads aid with even weight distribution and traction as well as alternative uses like creating a conveyor belt. TETRIX® Chain Links are made of highly durable acetal and snap together and apart with ease and you receive everything you need to get rolling in this kit.

Need a strong connection between your TETRIX® PRIME elements? The 60-degree, 90-degree, and 120-degree gussets work with TETRIX MAX and TETRIX PRIME systems and give you great versatility in creating you connection points on your robot. This RoboByte will cover their common use, some ideas for atypical uses, and a few things to watch for in your builds.

Looking to create a chain driving system for your robot? With the TETRIX® MAX Sprocket and Chain Pack, you'll have the strength to power through any classroom task or competition challenge. Various sizes of heavy-duty aluminum sprockets and the customizable length steel chain make building a solution just right for your robot easier than ever.

Motion transfer is the name of the game with TETRIX® MAX Gears. They’re made of heavy-duty aluminum and a critical piece of any mobile robot. In this RoboByte, Tim talks about the sizes available and the mechanical advantage gears offer, plus a bit about how critical alignment is in your classroom or competition build.

The TETRIX® MAX system is designed to give you optimum building options. Structure pieces like the Inside Corner Bracket help make that happen. This two-sided bracket makes it easy to create connection points on the outside of TETRIX channels. In this RoboByte, Tim tells us a bit more about the part and how you can use this element in your next build.

TETRIX® MAX Channels, made of heavy-duty aluminum, are the foundation of the TETRIX MAX building system. They're perfect for creating sturdy and strong structural bases for any robot. In this RoboByte, Tim talks about the five lengths of channel available, the flexibility the different sizes provide, as well as the tolerance our hole pattern offers. Channels are integral to your next competition or classroom bot. 

The End Game is here. The TETRIX® R&D team is digging into the final portion of the challenge where you can score big with some serious lunar lander hang time.
