He was impatient with people during his first weeks on the forum, but has improved since and is now a respected member who has competed in and hosted many tournaments. He is the only active Scottish member of the forum, and has a two Featherweight robots in real life, Stratos, a modified BattleRat, and another kitbot which was previously Usain Bot owned by Scot Bots, now named Tankslapper. it was armed with interchangeable weapons which were a spike, a wedge, and a flail. Tankslapper was subsequently rebuilt and modified, and has competed as Tankslapper 2 & A Bit since, keeping the interchangeable weapons. − + − '''[[Stock]]:''' Originally had a showcase which featured poor quality robots, but has improved since he joined. A new Stock Showcase was created so that he could get better at Stock without keeping the unsuccessful attempts. Kurt admits that he still needs to do a lot to become truly good at Stock building. ([http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16772.0 Showcase]) − − '''[[DSL]]:''' Much better at DSL than he is at Stock, tends to build IRL bots and [[artbot]]s, but occasionally dabbles in Standard for tournaments.

Ranked 4th. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,8677.0.html Battlebots 3]:''' Entered Tiny Titan in the LW Division and Axis in the SHW division. They both lost in the first round. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13821.0 Battlebots 6]:''' Entered with 4 robots, one in each weight category, with differing levels of success. − LW - Prototype 47 - A horizontal bar which lost it's first fight. − MW - Boombox - A much better horizontal bar which also lost it's first fight. − HW - Poseidon - A flipper robot which did very well. It won it's first two matches outright, then won the Quarter-Final match on a judges decision, before losing the Semi-Final and coming 4th overall after the Playoff match. − SHW - Brute - A thwackbot with 2 70kg hammers on a few large stacked DSL Bars. It made it through Round One, but then lost it's second fight by a very close judges decision. It lost 22-23. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=14586.0 Battlebots 7]:''' Entered with 4 robots, one in each weight category, with no success at all... − LW - Iggy - A flipper with spikes on the flipping arm, styled like a dinosaur. It lost it's first fight. − MW - Lazarus - A HS with 3 spike strips for weapons. It too lost it's first fight. − HW - Hephaestus - A large hammer robot with 2 60kg hammers on a Geared Beta motor. Like the other two it lost it's first round fight. − SHW - The Blind Monolith - A jokebot Shell Spinner covered in beater bars. The shell was so heavy that it could barely turn. Unsurprisingly it lost in Round One. − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=15316.0 Battlebots 8]:''' Entered with 4 robots, one in each weight category, with differing levels of success.+ − LW - Croco - Another flipper robot.

Won through four rounds outright before an upset in the grand final where it came 2nd to Dr. Demolition. − HW - Captain Grabbermore - The weapons were two large "arms" which would open as it drove towards an opponent, then would close around them. Inside the "arms" were beater bars and flamethrowers. It won it's first match even though the AI wasn't fully working, but then lost it's next match. − SHW - 4Teen - A horizontal front mounted spinning bar was the weapon. 4Teen was driven by 14 Wide Ant wheels on 14 Astroflight motors, hence the name. It unsurprisingly lost it's first fight, but the wheels coming off were entertaining. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16429.0 Beetle Bashers 2: Double Trouble]:''' Entered Black Templar, a horizontal bar spinner powered by a Dual Mag, with Kossokei's Salamander as team Adeptus Astartes. Kurt also entered with Lion Rampant, another horizontal bar with beaters, and teamed with [[Elementos]], who entered Irn Bru, which Kurt skinned and made IRL. Kurt and Kossokei lost in their first match, but the scottish pairing of Kurt and Elementos won the tournament overall. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16530.0 Blood Brothers]:''' Entered Solstice and Equinox.

Most of the robots are spinners. Kurt performed decently overall, getting to the Quarter Finals with Geepy, a HS. Two of Kurt's bots were entered into the side tournament Retard Rumble, which pitted jokebots against each other, with the winner of each fight losing and being eliminated. Kurt's two entries were Leepy and Peepy, an IRL Axe and a single spike Rammer respectively. Both of Kurt's bots were in the first battle, Leepy won the battle so was the first to be eliminated from the competition. Peepy won it in the end, as it drove itself into a pit in every single match except one, where it was pushed into a pit. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16166.0 Minor Inconveniences]:''' Competed with Warmonger from Battlebots 9 and Maelstrom EVO, both of them were flippers, and made it to the second round. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=11107.0 My Little Pwnies]:''' Entered Easily Pwnable which was a badly weaponed poker.

NRYGTM was entered into team Widespread Panic with [[Mazakari]], and Kevin was sent to [[helloface199|Helloface]], but the team was never sent. Kurt also entered a team of two of his own robots called Here's A Robot and Here's Another Robot. One was a reskinned Tartantrum, the other was a [[TRFBD]]. They were part of Team Meh. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=10631.0 War of the Giants]:''' Entered Super Circuit Breaker 2, which was armed with a bar hammer on a Geared Beta motor. It lost it's only battle to the eventual champion. − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16426.0 VG Showdown]:''' Entered two robots, the first being 5 Playable Characters, themed around Super Mario 3D World, which was armed with 12 razors on 2 Hex Plates on a vertically spinning Perm motor, the other being PUZZLE PLANK, themed after the Super Mario Galaxy 2 level of the same name, after deciding to spam the GTM Skype chat with it, much to the annoyance of [[Incredirobotwars]]. PUZZLE PLANK lost against[[Sonny_Resetti|Sonny's]] Phoenix Wright twice in the heat but managed to win against Oregon Trail, meaning it would compete in the Wildcard Rumbles. It finished second on the rumble so was not put back in. 5 Playable Characters also lost 2-1 in the heat but won it's Wildcard rumble allowing it to continue. It lost the Rumble Winner match, which decided what spot in the bracket it would take. 5 Playable Characters made it to Round 2 of the Winners Bracket and Round 3 of the Losers Bracket before finally being eliminated from the competition. 5 Playable Characters has the dubious honour of having the most losses in the tournament, losing 5 times before finally being eliminated. − − == Kurt's Tournaments == − − Kurt started hosting tournaments in late 2013, with the discussion for his first tournament, Breaking Point, beginning in late October. Kurt has then gone on to host 4 tournaments, each with their own gimmick, because he likes his tournaments to be a little different. Because he hosted more than two tournaments in 2014, he was applied for--and earned--the title of Mega Host 2014. This lasts until December 31, 2015. − − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=15360.0 Breaking Point]:''' This was Kurt's first tournament, which was fought with IRL Middleweights. The gimmick for the tournament was to have a unique bracket with 15 entrants and a wildcard spot. The 15 entrants were randomly placed into 5 heats of 3 robots, all three robots fought in a melee with the winner advancing to the next round. The 10 robots that were beaten were then given a spot in the Wildcard Vote, to be reinstated into Round Two. Round Two consisted of two more three-way rumbles, the winner moved onto the Grand Final, and the runner up in each rumble was put into the Playoff for third place. − − Kurt entered with Panxhar 2, a horizontal spinning bar. It lost in Round One and was not given the Wildcard. − − In the end the tournament was won by [[Mazakari]], with his flipper robot Heavy Metal. − − [[Senstro]] came second with Mr. Biohazard, and [[RedAce]] came third with Carnivore. RecAce also won the Wildcard after it was flipped out of the arena by Heavy Metal in Round One. − − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=15445.0 Keep Your Enemies Close]:''' After the moderate success of Breaking Point, Kurt did another IRL Middleweight tourney, this time being a Tag Team tournament. The gimmick for this tourney was how the Tag Team aspect worked. There was 16 entrants, and each entrant sent two robots, making a total of 32 robots entered. All the robots were then given a randomly assigned partner and a randomly assigned opponent team. The team that won advanced to Round Two, but the teams did not stay the same. Each round the surviving robots were given new randomised partners and opponents until the Grand Final. The Grand Final was also a Tag Team battle, meaning there would be two champions. − − Kurt entered with Bostonius, a Steampunk themed robot with a vertical flywheel and a moving turnkey decoration at the rear, and with Scarabeetle, a flipper with the chassis made out of a shell. − − The two Champions were [[Jet-Speed]] with Subtlety, a flipper, and the host, Kurt with Bostonius. − − The other Grand Finalists were Jet-Speed again, with Inbound Catastrophe, and Senstro, with previous runner up Mr. Biohazard. − − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16150.0 Powers of Three]:''' This was Kurt's third and final tournament in the "Kurt's Opening IRL Middleweight Tournament Trilogy Which Is Totally A Real Trilogy" Trilogy. The gimmick of this tournament was to have 27 entries, so that each battle would involve three robots. Due to the lack of interest, Kurt had to open a secondary signups to get more entrants. Round One consisted of 9 three way battles called Qualifiers, with the winner of each advancing to Round Two. Round Two was three more rumbles known as Triads. The winners of the Triads were then placed into the Grand Final. The Grand Final was then a simple "Winner Takes All" melee. − − Kurt entered with a modified version of his Lightweight flipper Warmonger. It won it's Qualifier by flipping one robot out of the arena, and the other one around it. − − The tournament was won by Elementos with Self Defence Roots. It was armed with a spinning blade arrangement similar to a helicopter. It was a surprise victory as it wasn't expected to get past Round One. − − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16521.0 Breaking Point - DSL Standard Version]:''' Usually referred to as Breaking Point DSL - S or Breaking Point 2. Kurt decided to do a Standard tournament due to the amount of IRL tournaments happening. It is run exactly the same to − the original Breaking Point only with Standard robots. The tournament is currently running and the Wildcard vote is happening now. − − Kurt entered Princess, Princess, Princess after he removed it from VG Showdown and it's predecessor Kevin (See Two To Tango 2) was never fought. It made it to the Grand Final and won outright. − − Second place was awarded to [[HurricaneAndrew]] who fought with a beater bar rammer named Brazilian Tranny Midget, which won the Wildcard after it was beaten by 3rd place finisher Streamline which was built by [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] − − − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16698.0 Scrapheap Challenge]:''' Bleh, I'll edit it later. − + − '''[http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,9290.0.html Vs.
