It's no secret that Jesuit is known for its exceptional sports teams. However, non-mainstream sports such as robotics and bowling aren't always the first that come to mind when someone mentions Jesuit sports, but that doesn't mean that they aren't impressive.
This past week, the Jesuit robotics team, a.k.a. the Jesuit Allsparks and Team 2848, competed at the National FRC...
The robot, carried by its specially fabricated wheels, drives against the unrelenting mountain, struggling to climb. A T-shaped robotic arm swings down using gears to carefully lower it into position. The team manipulating its controls, the robot triggers switches on the side of the mountain to gain points. In the hectic last 30 seconds, the robot swiftly maneuvers its arm...
They have come.
Yes.
The Robots have come.
From the deep dark depths of the Terry Center's own Robo-Dungeon, Jesuit's robotics team, the 2848 All Sparks have emerged, beginning their spring season at the Irving Convention Center from March 1-4.
The Layout
The convention center was divided into two sections. One half of the area was designated for the pits, where the robots...
The Jesuit Robotics team is back this year 2011-2012 for another season of building robots and traveling to competitions. Coming off the most successful year in the club’s 4-year history, hopes are high for another entry into the FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) World Championship this year. As we prepare for the nonstop excitement...
3…2…1…Go!
This countdown, followed by the screams of thousands of fans inside the Edward Jones Dome in Saint Lewis, Missouri, ended with Dallas Jesuit’s very own robotics team bringing home the gold medal in the winter of 2014, winners of 2014 FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) National Championship.

The robotics club had its first FRC competition last weekend. This year’s challenge involves the robots picking up inflated tubes in the shapes of triangles, circles, and squares and placing them on horizontal pegs on a wall.
The bonus challenge was to make a mini-robot (that’s exactly what it sounds like) race other minibots to climb a 9-foot pole. Patrick Barone...
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...
Think of a sport. What popped into your head? Football? Baseball? Basketball? Robotics? One of these might not seem like the other; yet, robotics requires just as much concentration, commitment, and preparation as the other sports.
Jesuit robotics students in particular have been working diligently and fine-tuning their machinery for their tournaments. With junior varsity competitions under way and varsity...
