YEET! The Baby
YEET! was our 2024 robot for CRESCENDO, inspired loosely by the Unqualified Quokkas-and named accordingly. Legend has it that quokkas throw their babies at enemies when threatened, and the chaotic energy felt like a perfect fit.
YEET! used a pivot-based shooter paired with a pull-through intake/outtake system. Working together, the programming team and driver added a "reverse controls" button, letting the driver instantly flip the robot's controls for quicker turnarounds on the field.
This year, we scrapped the AndyMark kit and built our own West Coast drivetrain with a brand-new gearbox. YEET! competed at the Arkansas Regional before heading to the Bayou Regional in New Orleans.
