Craaig joined the forums in March 2009, and describes himself as a 'generally happy guy', although some just take him as 'random'. His real name is Craig, for those who didn't guess. Likes to think of himself as a mild-tempered, generally good community member, helping out wherever possible.
 
 
 
 
 
Ranked 6th in the Rust In Pieces standings, a series of tournaments that he runs himself, won the [[BTRSHDBBDDTBL]] awards in BBEANS6 and RA2TC, was the Grand Champion of [[IRL Tourney]] and runner up of [[Our Replicas Are Different]].
 
 
 
 
 
When Craaig signed up, he was quite a [[n00b]] and co-made the [[25x Post of Shit]] with [[Hydro]]. He even given the Spamweight [[Post Rank]] for several weeks, and became one of the [[Two Gods of Shit]] although these n00bish habits are well in the past.

'''Tournament Running'''
 
 
 
 
 
Craaig run a DSL MW tournament, [[Rust In Pieces]], mainly due to the lack of DSL tournaments taking place at the time. It had 22 competitors, and was won by [[Pwnator]]'s Paper Cut 3.
 
 
 
He also hosted the Not Overly Epic Showdown, [[Sparkey98|Sparkey]] vs [[LRA2|Avalanche]], to find out who would win. In the end, Avalanche won all 3 matches.
 
 
 
 
 
The follow-up to Rust In Pieces, Rust In Pieces 2, was a DSL SHW tournament with 16 competitors. [[yoda9726]]'s Gluttony won the main bracket, while [[Naryar]]'s Shiva won the Loser's Bracket.
 
 
 
 
 
Craaig also run [[RIMP]] - mainly made of various grudge matches and challenges for all RIP1 and RIP2 bots, much like a 'Robot Wars Extreme' style tournament. The phrase RIMP was turned into a GTM Meme by [[yoda9726]], closely followed by [[Naryar]] and is fairly common over many of Craaig's topics.
 
 
 
 
 
More recently, Craaig run [[Pokemon: The League Of Getehem]], a DSL HW tournament for Pokemon replicas, won by Naryar's Aerodactyl replica.
 
 
 
 
 
He is currently running RIP3, the 3rd in the Rust In Pieces series, a DSL MW/LW Cluster tournament with 21 entries.

'''Bot Building'''
 
 
 
 
 
He tends not to showcase all too much any more, often only building for tournaments. He seems to have a tendency for making 'odd' or 'insane' bots for tournaments, because most people 'take stuff too seriously'.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Stock:'''
 
Craaig doesn't tend to build in stock at all any more, but once showcased a Complex [[FS]], the first Craaig (and many others) had seen.
 
 
 
 
 
'''DSL:'''
 
Skilled builder. Builds mainly [[Vertical Spinner]]s, and tends to build series of robots instead of individual machines, currently mainly working with the 'Orange' design, which has spawned successful robots such as [[Blood Orange]] (BBEANS6), Immunization (RIP2) and Fever (TA).
