    Robot Season Is Underway

    news Robotics CNC makerspace FIRST Sector67 events FIRST Robotics students machining

    Students at FIRST Robotics FIRST Robotics is an organization that promotes STEM education through robotics competitions. While you might immediately picture science fairs of the past, FIRST events are more in the vein of a pep rally. FIRST Robotics Championship There are a number of local and regional competitions in which the students participate to reach the championships at the end of April, and those events are underway.

    While some FIRST teams have been using Tormach machines for a while, others have never experienced the value of CNC. Tormach and Sector67 at FIRST Robotics Championship That’s why Tormach partnered with one of our local makerspaces, Sector67, to create a mobile makerspace. We were in La Crosse and Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the FIRST regional events doing on-the-fly machining with PathPilot’s conversational programming, as well as cutting prepared parts with students’ CAM. While CNC isn’t often associated with impromptu metalworking, we were able to help nearly 100 teams get their robots back into the arena by machining random brackets, holders, and anything else the teams needed. Milling Parts at FIRST Robotics FIRST Robotics Championship The FIRST Championships are hosted in Houston and St. Louis at the end of this month, and Tormach will be in Missouri with a PCNC 440 in tow.
