I have some question about the Dao, would appreciate if you can answer it. Is it intended for that thing to continuously print out an infinite source of Drone that can move and attack every turn? But the attack use GRIT, so it kinda never hit anything at all? So you just spend a full action to gain a burst 2 soft cover??

Yes, it is intended. The Dao has a limited time to accomplish a sitrep objective so the drone printing has more value the earlier in the fight it is done. The drones use Grit as the flat modifier to the d20 ranged attack like a PC, their deal is the difficulty on enemy targets which stacks with Impaired. Each use of the full action "Print Subaltern Drone" creates a new subaltern which can then move into cover as needed, whether it's the soft cover from the Dao or hard cover on the board.
