A Posse Ad Esse: "From Possibility to Actuality"

Visit our News page for updates about Team 2374!

Welcome to the official web site of the Jesuit High School Robotics Team, an extra-curricular activity that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition. We are also know as Team 2374: The Crusader Bots.

For the FIRST Competition, we design, program, construct and test a robot to compete and cooperate with 5 other robots in a 2.5 minute match, all while keeping in mind the size and weight restrictions.

Unlike some would think, "Robotics" is far more than just batteries and power cords. Teams operate like individual companies, handling every part of the development process. Students handle everything from Design and Fabrication, Software, Pit Area Management, Competitive Analysis, Marketing and Business Operations for the team.

In fact, the student members take care of every major operation. Mentors are only there to assist with questions or advice.

The 2008 competition was the very first for our school's team. Read more about our performance here. We used the fall pre-season as an opportunity to get organized. We created our team's very first robot for a friendly scrimmage with other local teams. You can read more about the "Capture the Bunny" Event by clicking here.
