The game begins. Jesuit's robot is racing around the court, collecting balls and launching them into the overhead goal. Until disaster strikes, disaster for the other teams at least. The Jesuiot Robot and another team's robot collide, and the other team's robot is flipped over, lying helpless on the ground. Only a little bit later, the Jesuit robot collides...

While most Jesuit students were relishing their last two days of Spring Break, the Jesuit Robotics Team on March 14-15 qualified for the national tournament by winning fourth place in the National Robotics Challenge regional tournament in Dallas. The Jesuit All Sparks' robot dominated the field, except for an elite few opponents, and accomplished...
Transitioning from building their battle bots, over the break, the Jesuit robotics team began the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition season! The FIRST competition pits 6 robots on 2 different teams, or alliances, against each other, competing in a sport invented by the organization. Each alliance is comprised of three different teams from...
Metal strands fly past as the Jesuit robotics team, working on large metal cutting machines, makes their own parts. Cutting, drilling, and working the various metal machines, the robotics team carefully brings their designs to life. They work at Manda Machines, where they learn about the professional engineering trade and what it takes to make these robot parts.
All year,...
Smashing, clashing, and slicing, the various wedges, blades, and titanium plates of the Jesuit robotics team ram into the carefully constructed battlebots of the various schools competing in the National Robotics League competition. From simple wedges with sawblades to tank-like invincible masses of steel and titanium, the Jesuit robotics team has just begun constructing their battlebots that will be entered...
Successful in tournaments stretching from Lubbock to Oklahoma, the Jesuit Robotics team, The All Sparks, has surely accomplished a lot this year. They placed 4th in both FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) regional tournaments this year, showing they had what it took to be successful. Unfortunately, minor errors, paired with the intense competition from the other squads led to the...
Putting the finishing touches on their electronic marvels, the students prepare to maneuver their Lego robot onto the playing field and through the obstacles. Having prepared 8 weeks for this notorious competition, students from many schools come together as a group to outplay and outperform their competitors.
Judged by their Robot Design, Robot Performance, Project, and Core Values, the students...
Jesuit’s All-Sparks Robotics Team looked to make a deep run in regional robotics competitions this year. After strong performances in San Antonio and New Orleans tourneys, where the Jesuit All- Sparks Robotics Team made it to the semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively, the club continued its string of successes with another impressive performance at the FIRST Robotics Competition at the...
