Using This Guide
The instructions in this guide will enable you to properly create subassemblies of parts needed for
students to successfully construct the three basic robots described in the TETRIX® PRIME Builder’s Guide
in a timely manner. The assemblies are simple to construct but might consume too much time and
attention to detail for some students to complete. All of the assembly should be completed in less than
one hour.
When completing the activities contained within the TETRIX® PRIME Builder’s Guide, students should be
grouped in teams of two or three. Students working alone might need assistance when assembling
parts and might encounter problems they find difficult to resolve by themselves. The interaction
between students is a learning process in and of itself and should be encouraged. Observation of the
interactions between students can assist teachers in assessing student progress.
