Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA) Update for Week 3

We are now 25 days from when we must complete the robot for this year’s Steamworks competition. This week our build team has been constantly designing and upgrading our robot. The frame is constructed, and we are evaluating how to mount different required items on it.

We have completed the building of practice field elements needed for the game and these items are ready and waiting for robot elements to try them out. Our programming team is prototyping a code on an IP camera with last year’s robot in order to fine tune the code for this year’s competition. They are now able to snap photos from the robot’s view.

On a final note, our new video team is currently designing the chairman’s video with the help of a new mentor in the field of video production. This will expand our team’s ability to promote our team on many avenues.

Please stay tuned for more weekly updates
