Hard to believe that FTC registration opens in just a few days. The dust has barely settled from Atlanta.
In any case we're excited to show you the details of the program for the upcoming season. That all starts with some additional kit options allowing teams to get involved at a lower price point with kits that un-bundle some of the components.
We did a pretty thorough analysis and found that teams were not using everything included in the kits. Many teams used more material - but would rather have the option of picking what that material would be - as opposed to us guessing to create the full kit.
You should have this info soon. Look for it in email form if you're a 2009/2010 team. I'll also post a link to it on the blog next week.
Take care,
Ken

Does anyone know how soon the tetrix kits arrive after registration? I want to start a new team and would like to be able to have the kids at least work with the parts and software a bit before the challenge is announce. If I register now and order the kit, will it arrive by summer?
According to the TETRIX order page: "The FTC Resource Kit will be shipped with the other FTC Kits in June. Contact our Customer Service Department at 800-362-4308 with questions."
Hope that helps. Good luck.
