Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
"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 ![]() ![]() ![]() Some Specifications: Drivetrain/Frame

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
How do you fit this robot under the low bar?

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
hehe that is correct. A little bit of word play. We are definitely not fitting under the low bar.

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
Well, I guess that would be legal, as it's only illegal to pass COMPLETELY over the low bar. I'm assuming passing through will remove the bar, but part of the robot would be considered to pass under it. Wait...that would be damaging the field...maybe it will split in half and the top half will jump over??

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
This is a crazy huge improvement over your previous robots. What steps did you take after 2015 to revamp the team?
New leadership? New sponsors? New training methods? Looks fantastic! Best of luck! |

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
Akash- Appreciate the comment! To be honest everything. We revamped the way us as mentors are teaching/mentoring the students. We completely overhauled the approach we take throughout the year leading up to the competition reveal to foster the new students slowly into the aspects of the season. The main focus this year was submitting Chairman's and I can officially say this is the first year we actually did.

Yep been doing this for a decent amount of time and can for sure say this year has been an eye opening start. (Always put the practice bot to good use for the driving)

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker

Looking forward to watching this one on the live stream. Alumni pride for the team pushing your limits this year. |

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
That is our secret weapon haha. On a lighter note it was either that our a the 4ft. actuator that we bought in 2008 (which weighs about 30 lbs.)
Hope to see you soon! Good luck out your way also sir. |
