'''NFX''' is a relative newcomer to the Robot Arena 2 community, having first downloaded Robot Arena 2 in August 2009, and joining the Gametechmods 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, receiving Advanced User status in December 2010.
'''NFX''' is a relative newcomer to the Robot Arena 2 community, having first downloaded Robot Arena 2 in August 2009, and joining the Gametechmods 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, receiving Advanced User status in December 2010. Recently promoted to Moderator of the Tournament section, alongside G.K. He took another hiatus in the first half of 2013 due to a number of real life issues, but has recently returned again. Disappeared from GTM in March 2014, but is still very much active on ARC, where he is an admin.
His Stock showcase can be found [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2322.0 here], and his DSL showcase [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=3750.0 here]. R0B0SH4RK once described his as "possibly the most underrated builder on the forums". Occasionally, NFX builds replicas to quite a good standard, and some more humorous robots when "Builder's Block" sets in. Recently, he emerged as a strong Bot Of The Month contender, having become only the third member to win back-to-back BOTM polls.

'''Stock''' - Knows almost all of the glitches, and can build some very effective bots. Tends to build [[popup]] and [[HS]] bots only, but has some trouble building effective wedges. Was voted the 3rd best Stock builder on the forums in the 2012 Ranks.
'''DSL''' - Has reached a reasonably good 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, and has some trouble building effective wedges.
'''DSL''' - Has reached a strong level. Doesn't really build any specific type of bot, but likes rammers and IRL designs. He was also voted the 9th best DSL builder, and joint 3rd best IRL builder on the forums in the 2012 Ranks.
'''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]]
'''Modding''' - Reskinned an arena for Gazea2's (possibly cancelled) Stock mod [[RA2INBOW]], along with a few components, and has a decent knowledge of [[BFE]]. Recently learned both UI and more complex component [[GMF]] modification.
