Week 6 Press Release

Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA) Week Six Update 

Greetings,

The sixth week was a big milestone for DNA, they attended ICC which stands for Itasca Community College. 11 teams traveled to the Itasca Community College to partake in practice and friendly competition. At the event a few volunteers were asked to be judges, asking questions similar to the ones that will be asked at the actual competitions, preparing students to explain what their team is made up of, what makes them different, what they are proud of, and future goals for their team.

Following the practice competition DNA had a few things to fix, their electrical subteam went over the electrical and started to fix the issues that had come up over the weekend. Similarly, the programmers continued working on the code, streamlining processes in the robot to make everything smoother. The team will be following the ARC Field over the weekend to Esko where they will be doing last-minute testing and fixing before their first competition, which is at the Decc, starting on Thursday the 29. 

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