'''NFX''' is a relative newcomer to the Gametechmods community, having first downloaded Robot Arena 2 in August 2009, and joining the GTM Forums just two days after. Following a brief departure from the forums for unknown reasons, he returned in April 2010, and started to become one of the forum regulars, reveicing Advanced User status in December 2010.
Currently, he tends to offer insights into the newer members' bots, covering most of the simpler aspects, such as chassis management and basic glitching, leaving the more experienced members, such as [[Naryar]] and [[Pwnator]] to go into more detail about things like efficiency.
Still doesn't completely understand the rules for batteries.
He has a Stock showcase [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2322.0 here] and a DSL showcase [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=3750.0 here]. Despite their popularity amongst some users, he hates DSL Flail Shell Spinners with a passion, mostly due to the large potential for them to create a [[Havok Explosion]] when a weapon or flail is knocked off. He also occasionally builds replicas to quite a good standard (see his Shunt and Dead Metal replicas in the Replica Showcase for some good examples), and some more humorous robots when Builder's Block sets in, recently building a fully mobile robot BBQ, inspired by a comment made by [[JoeBlo]]. Recently, he emerged as a strong Bot Of The Month contender, having become only the third member to win back-to-back BOTM polls. He is currently ranked 98th in BBEANS Rankings, which he describes as 'relatively decent'.
In the more off-topic sections of the forum, he has become known for both his skilful use of the image editing program Paint.NET, with which he created both his signature and his avatar, as well as his slightly adverse sense of humour. He has a tendency to make jokes about most things in the off-topic sections, and sometimes makes references to RA2 as well, though occasionally when it's not that appropriate. An example of this can be seen [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4683.15.html here]. He has also made a number of 'MS Paint Bots', which were well-received by others.
==Skill==
'''Stock''' - Knows almost all of the glitches, and can build some reasonably competitive bots. Tends to build popups and HS bots only.
'''DSL''' - Has reached a reasonable level. Likes to experiment, but tends to make bots more for looks, or proof of concept, rather than combat efficiency. Doesn't really build any specific type of bot, but likes rammers, has some trouble building effective wedges, and avoids shell spinners like the plague.
'''Modding''' - Has finally managed to crack AI'ing, and reskin an arena for Gazea2's Stock mod [[RA2INBOW]]. He has also recently learned to reskin components, and has 'absolute minimal knowledge' of [[BFE]]
==Tournament Entries==

'''Present Of Doom''' - His BOTM Entry for December 2010, coming second to Clickbeetle. It featured his first public showing of reskinned components: a red DSL Disc which read "To ACAMS. Merry Xmas!"
'''Crab Salad 2''' - A LW Rammer that utilises the Trov Chassis glitch, known for its unique weapon setup. Its potency was displayed in a screenshot showing a KO victory over the fearsome [[Mako]].
'''Pyramid Scheme''' - A pyramid-shaped Stock HW Flipper with a smiley face on the front. Liked for its humour, and there is also footage of it upending [[Hammer Of Justice]], and unshown footage of it overturning [[Hammer Of Judgement]].
==Hosting==
So far, NFX has only attempted to host one official tournament, ''Mechapocalypse.'' However, due to university work and time constraints, he was unable to continue with it.
He has also hosted the Home Nations Tournament, an unofficial tournament between himself, Goldenfox93, G.K. and lloopp d lloopp, on the basis that each of the four countries of the United Kingdom would be represented.
