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...
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...
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,...
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...
Since January 6th, the Jesuit FRC Robotics team has been relentlessly preparing for the upcoming FRC competition “Crescendo.”
The sound of drills whirring, wrenches cranking, keyboards clicking, and clanking metal echoed throughout the robotics lab as the team worked furiously to design and fabricate the perfect robot for the upcoming competition. After weeks of brainstorming, designing, building, and programming, the...
The Jesuit Robotics Club has been a part of the Jesuit tradition for three years now. We travel as far as Atlanta, Georgia and San Antonio, Texas, to compete against high school students from around the world. We make t-shirt cannons and help with Chariot-building at Ranger Day. This year we are beginning a new tradition with the Santa...
