Main Build | PRIME with EV3

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.

Need to create connections, or perhaps add support or space to a build? TETRIX® PRIME Aluminum Linkages provide the customization you're looking for when building a better bot. Tim takes you through the basics and some items to watch for in this RoboByte.

In this RoboByte, learn specifically about the TETRIX PRIME EV3 module that is designed as an interface between the LEGO Mindstorms programmable Brick and the TETRIX PRIME building system. This module has the LEGO cross axle holes, supports up to six standard PRIME Servos, DC motors, and more!

Need to pair or repair your TETRIX® Wireless Joystick Gamepad System to your receiver? This RoboBench gives troubleshooting tips on different scenarios to correctly connect your robot to your controller.

Get building with Tim! We heard you loud and clear and created a step-by-step guide in building the TETRIX® PRIME® Gripper Kit. From packaging to an addition to your robot, learn the in's and out's of the gripper kit.

In this series, Application in Engineering, we introduce two different shooting mechanisms you can add to your robot. Aaron Locke, our Robotics Curriculum Specialist, shares how to build a flywheel mechanism and a striker system while also going through the benefits and the drawbacks of each.

In this Applications in Engineering video, Aaron Locke talks about robotic lift mechanisms. Whether it's lifting an object high into a goal or just picking something up and moving it to a new location, this is a common task in many engineering challenges and robotics competitions.

By combining TETRIX PRIME and EV3, students can build a tractor robot with a modular smart harvester attachment. This third curriculum Complete Activity highlights the used of servos and motors to complete different types of tasks including driving the tractor straight while the harvester swivels or to collect, count, and store objects.

With TETRIX PRIME and EV3 components, students will build a unique stationary robot that acts as a security door with a two-phase access procedure. The objective is to complete a program that will wait for access to be demanded through the interaction or sensors and then to wait and respond based on sensor data by activating one or both phases of the procedure. Details found in the curriculum’s final Complete Activity.

Tim Lankford gives you all the details about our new EV3 Module. Yes, we’ve made our TETRIX® PRIME system completely compatible with EV3. This pairing means you can create robots that are bigger, stronger, more complex, and more real world. Simply use your EV3 Brick, sensors, motors, and LEGO® elements and combine them with the PRIME metal system and watch your students accomplish feats that cannot be done with plastic alone. Plus be on the lookout for the next RoboBench video where we'll discuss the all new TETRIX PRIME and EV3 Curriculum Pack with 30+ hours of content that delivers the tools you need for more building, more coding, and more learning.

Introducing the TETRIX PULSE Robotics Controller, a controller designed to work in the scale of the TETRIX PRIME building system.

You can do more with metal. Combine TETRIX PRIME and EV3 to build more robust robots and expand the learning opportunities. Begin the journey with this Main Build that’s made possible with the exclusive EV3 Module and curriculum. This first Getting Started has students building a bot that is programmed to maneuver around obstacles without sensors.
