Since the beginning of January, the Jesuit FRC robotics team has been preparing for the upcoming "Charged Up" FRC competition.Â
The sound of whirring motors and clanking metal echoes through the workshop as the Jesuit robotics team furiously work to perfect their robot for the upcoming competition. Months of brainstorming, designing, building, and programming have led up to this moment....
 "I feel really good about making it to the finals because it tells me that all the work that was done over the summer really payed off and that it wasn't for nothing."- Joseph Amador '23
The hefty robots collide, scrambling to collect scoring elements for their team as the passionate crowd's cheering fills the stadium. The Jesuit FRC Robotics...
The robotics team carefully equips their robot with all the sensors needed and patiently puts it on the tarmac. As the machine quickly yet efficiently loads its cargo into hubs and racks up points by the second. As the timer quickly ticks away, the robots climb up several bars. In the end, the team is victorious, narrowly beating out...
The robot carefully maneuvers between the obstacles and picks up a block. It speedily travels across the field, placing it on the highest layer of the cargo hold. As the timer winds down, the complicated machine starts spinning the disk, with the duck pieces falling off it each time and scoring more points. The time buzzes, with a narrow...
On January 15th, the Jesuit Robotics Team engaged in a series of battle-bots arenas, transporting ducks and other goods. In the battles, teams of two faced off against each other trying to score the most points to win. Through many trials and tribulations, the Robotics Team ultimately won enough to go on to the semi-finals.
Although eventually losing in the...
The robot quickly plucks up the freight piece and pushes it to the warehouse, scoring for the team. As the time winds down, the robot continues these motions, efficiently scoring even more points. As the timer buzzed, the results are tallied, and the robot has secured a victory for the thrilled team.
The FTC (First Tech Challenge) Robotics team recently...
A panel of judges curiously observes the inner makings of a robot, reviewing the 3d models of the parts and the physical implementation of those simulated models. This was the FIRST Robotics Competition, where judges reviewed these robots.
Date
This period of judges watching and taking notes on the robots occurred on Saturday 6th, a week before Spring Break started. However,...
As the crackling sounds of a saw fill the background, the robotics team members prepare for the challenges that lay ahead. The FRC (First Robotics Competition) team and the FTC (First Tech Challenge) prepare themselves to attend tournaments and win more competitions as a team. This competition requires intense preparation, and going from last semester and continuing into this...
