"At last! An electronic teaching system that is designed to integrate into all types of project work, be it a simple electric circuit forming part of a model house or a more complex electronic circuit. Tronix is so easy, it has to be experienced to be believed. A great strength is that a completed circuit automatically 'draws' its own circuit diagram as it is assembled. Many hours of frustration would have been avoided if we'd had a system like this before." Stewart Dunn, Middle School Teacher and CDT textbook author.
"There are many cheap ways of mounting motors - getting
them to work is another question. Fudging around with sticky pads and
pipe clips wastes time and is often the cause of motor drives not working.
The motor brackets are quick to use and automatically align with the Inverta
mechanisms they're intended to drive." Dave Catlin, Managing Director, Valiant Technology.
