I love this bot, but you haaaave to build a test box!

it would be funny if you created a controller that could be flipped upside down mid match to account for the robot getting turned over

What weight class is that, it looks so cool!

You are probably using a flight controller of some kind? It has an IMU on board and can detect if you are upside down or not. You've done a decent job of mapping your controls so they work in the same orientation on the controller whether you are upside down or not. I can't tell from your level of control that you right side up or not. I'm going to say I was wrong about drum spinners...they don't get under your edges all that much and throw you. now I'm curious about vertical spinners throwing you! I could swear your height would be a problem, but I think so far it's not.

you owned that undercutter pretty nicely and your shuffle drive has gotten better. He never got a in a good shot...not once!

Next iteration of Karlton, make it lower to the floor so you can't get flipped so easily. It sits too high. Under cutters can get into your shufflers too easily I like that there is no top or bottom and it moves equally well in either orientation. Other detail is shuffle drive needs to be faster. Everything on wheels is going to be able to out maneuver you.

Damn guys, your videos and your robots are amazing :)

very impressive bot :) great work to you and the whole family

That is a very ambitious first robot, but it is certainly effective

deserves more views.

He's giving me angry little beetle vibes with the look of Carleton, the bugger you should fear to face

You lost that last fight??? Thats wild. Did they explain why?

You definitely should have won that last fight. You had more control, aggression, and damage. No idea what the judges were thinking

Well done!

The judges decision was horrible. That should of been an easy decision for Karlton379.

Great first robot!

You start these from a kit? Been looking for a good shuffler kit/example. My son and I love this design. Great job!

It doesn’t make sense how you guys lost. Seems like some favoritism

its videos like this that make me fall in love with robot combat over and over again

this is crazy impressive! your knowledge osmosis is insane, you've got a lot of good design fundamentals! beating a Scalar in your second fight is *very* good

Wow! Super impressive for a first bot. This was fun to watch

Shout out to Eli for a great presentation 💪🔥 I’m a turtle dozer fan now!🐢🚜

first

how did hellish rebuke win when you beat them?

Congrats on the win!!

Very cool! That looks like a lot of fun! It was a nail biter but you pulled through with a come from behind knockout in the final round! My favorite part is the coach's comments, "Be aggressive, honey!" 😂😂😂

Congratulations on the well deserved win! Karlton379 was simple a joy to watch. Speaking of, I’m curious as to how you came up with the name, specifically the 379 part?

Congrats on 1st! I see a lot more number 1 finishes in Karlton's future

Nice job!

Oh wow, I didn't know you drove 7 hours that morning! You did amazing though!

Congratulations on doing so well! Karlton 379 is such a unique and interesting design and I’m very excited to see more of it!

congrats broski!

Im glad you came and brought your whole family! You turned some heads for sure. I cant wait to see what Karlton can evolve into.

Nice job on the robot! Still surprised you lost that last fight but 2nd place isn't bad at all. I'm looking forward to seeing how Karlton379 does in the future!

This robot is truly one-of-a-kind! This is exactly why I adore this sport-the perpetual innovation and the level playing field where anyone can emerge as a winner. Just when you think you've seen everything, along comes something as cool as Kalton379 to surprise you!
