Mechanical Technician – Toolmaking students help All Saints Catholic High School Robotics Team

Posted on Monday, March 24th, 2014

Over the past few months students and Faculty from the final year of the Mechanical Technician – Toolmaking program have been busy helping students from the All Saints High School Astechz robotics team manufacture parts for their entry into the First Robotics Competition. The All Saints’ team – Astechz – Team 2994 will be competing at the First Robotics Competition being held from April 24th through April 26th in St. Louis.

The parts manufactured by the students took approximately six hours of programming time and a further six hours of CNC machining to complete. Over the last few years the Faculty of Technology and Trades has both sponsored and provided technical help for the All Saints Team and in the spirit of the First Robotics Competition for the last year we have also been building our relationships with other local high schools looking to also compete in this prestigious annual competition.

For more information on the Astechz please visit their website. For more information on the First Robotics Competition please view the following page.

    Hi there,
    This program is suspended. I suggest you look into the Manufacturing Engineering Technician program instead.

    Thanks
