"The wait is over! This season didn't start 6 weeks ago, this season started at the end of March 2015. We said then that we are taking this team in a different direction and to meet challenges that we have never faced before. Well 11 months later we have done exactly that. We are not just a team anymore, we are a family. we are 25 members strong, half being girls. We have a new dynamic and it's way more than the robot.
We are proud to say after all of the hard work; But this is bag day and we have one more announcement! So we've done enough teasing today and FIRST Team 1708 Amp'D Robotics would like to introduce you to our 2016 competition robot HeartBreaker and the practice robot NightClub" -Jason
