denkbots DIY large visual displays for competition

[rufu5]

Good Afternoon ChiefDelphi!

Over at denkbots, several of our team members are FIRST mentors and alumni; In our continued effort to give back, we wanted to share a project we did this summer.

To promote our team at GenCon we created a large visual display of our team mascot which was mounted on a backpack style courier.

We wrote two segments to explain how we built our big blue friend, in hopes that others could use this construction technique to make their own creations.

The articles can be found consolidated on the page linked below:

We know how important team brand recognition and visibility are in the FRC community and at competitions, so we figured a few teams would appreciate a tutorial on how to create a large and unique visual display on a reasonable budget.

This is our first time writing a tutorial like this, so all feedback is appreciated and welcome!
