Week 3 Press Release

Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA) Week Three Update 

Greetings,

During DNA’s third week of the FRC competition, significant strides were made. The team’s prototypes were tested and reworked, to allow for better playability and design. With the drive base all wired up the programmers were able to start implementing code and testing out the new swerve modules the team purchased for this year, which will work pretty well with the 2024 FRC game “Crescendo”.

DNA’s marketing and business team made progress toward their budget goal for upcoming competitions in Duluth and Denver. They secured a grant for a Bambu Lab Carbon printer, improving efficiency for quicker turnaround times and manufacturing essential components, particularly those on backorder. The new printer will also play a vital role in testing ideas and addressing broken parts on the robot.

We are very excited to be continuing the 2024 build season! To keep up with our progress, check out our social media sites.
