Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA) Update for Week Seven

Greetings Sponsors,

The final week before DNA’s first competition brought many challenges. The Build sub-team created side guards out of polycarbonate which has a dual purpose of protecting our robots electrical board and also showing off our sponsors. They also added LED strips to indicate the game piece that was wanted. The Programming sub-team began working on autonomous, where the robot moves entirely on pre written code, and coded the auto framework to schedule commands. The CAD sub-team started the CAD binder which will be used to show all of the designs that went into DNA’s robot. The Business sub-team created buttons, which will be given out at competitions, finished sponsor logos, which will be put on the robot, got a new pit banner, and created robot stickers. DNA would also like to invite you to the robot reveal on Tuesday the 28th at 6 pm.

We are very excited to begin the 2023 build season! In order to keep up with our progress, make sure to check out our social media sites.
