Trivia
G.K. had the highest post frequency/day of the regular posters on GTM for a long time.

G.K. is a member on the Gametechmods forums. He is an experienced wiki editor and administrator at The Robot Wars Wiki under the name Helloher and is also around on Youtube. He acquired RA2 and joined GTM in November 2009 and is building his skill level at both Stock and DSL. He doesn't feel inspired by any particular builder for his building style, but elements of the styles of Urjak, The Ounce and Scrap Daddy can be found in some of his bots.

He has a DSL showcase here, a stock showcase here and an Ironforge showcase here. He has 5 teams in NAR AI, Team Hell, srezinwP, Team 42, Team G.K. & Odds and Ends.

He is very helpful around the forums and also contributes to the wiki. He hosted Wheely Tag after Mouldy King Bash experienced technical problems. He has become known as the Tournament Paramedic, helping members through tournaments by AI'ing bots and/or making splashes and/or filming matches. He has done this for Terror Twisters, Combat Clusters, Chinese Whispers, Mechapocalypse, Micro Mayhem Reincarnated, XBW and Xtreemer Than You. As mentioned previously, he took over Wheely Tag completely. He later completed his own tournaments Back to the Beginnings, and the sequels, BTTB 2, BTTB 3 and BTTB 4. Became Tournament Mod in October 2011 and remains so despite numerous spells of inactivity. BTTB Vis currently being hosted.

Does not write musicals.

IRL, GK is Welsh, a trumpet player, actor, tenor and theatre producer.

Skill

G.K. is a decent builder. He has finished runner up in several Stock & DSL tournaments, and has been champion in 3 DSL tournaments and 1 stock tournament. Between 2010 and 2013 skinned basically all his bots with [ the same thing].

Stock

Astonishingly good at snapper loading, if he blows his own trumpet. Not particularly creative.

DSL

Isn't at the highest level, but decent and has numerous teams in NAR AI.

Ironforge

Has only built 4 bots, but thinks it's a bunch of fun.

Modding

Knows how to do almost everything in 2012, was bad at putting it into practice in 2012, and is absolutely out of practice in the present day. He made the Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena, and has released BTTB AI.
