An old user who first joined the forum under the handle Life robot arena2 where he was infamous for being temperamental and has often been the cause of flame wars in the forum.
Has matured somewhat, in that his English skills, building skills and posting habits (Caps lock, large font size etc. that were commonplace under the Life robot arena2 name.) have improved. However, Avalanche is still known for his aggressive and argumentative nature.
As of October the 3rd, 2017, Avalanche has been banned for 6 months for a backlog of violations regarding the rules. As of the 7th, though, his ban was further upped to a whole year after attempting to return back to GTM under alternate accounts, which ended up getting detected.
As of October 10th, Avalanche was discovered to have been multiaccounting as TheIronsideProtocol in an attempt to get back into the forums. He has since been permabanned from the forums.
Bot building
DSL: Builds only IRL bots. Is often panned for choosing to place combat effectiveness ahead of visuals in terms of priority.
Challenges
Has had a Stock HW Tag Team challenge against RPJK and lost, however, his invertible bot was not AIed as so, resulting in a restart, which he won.
Also had 2 DSL MW Tag Team Title matches, winning his first match vs Helloface, then lost the titles to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Defeated ty4er for the DSL-HW championship and after a period of rejected challenges, retained the title against DSC and TGM. Badger defeated Avalanche for the championship, causing Avalanche to request a rematch. This rematch may never take place.
In current rankings, his total score is -5.
Tournaments
Doomed Bots (2 straight losses.) Clash Cubes 2 and 3 (Straight failures.) Havok DQ in: HTF Summer 2014, Battlebots 6/7
Anti Gravity: His most successful bot around 2009-2011, which won 2 matches in Blades Of Fury(2). He first beat Hadron 2 via Judges Decision 36-35, then Dragonslayer by Outwedging him and letting him fling himself out of the arena. He lost the tournament soon after.
Scratch N Sniff and Blitzkrieg 2: Both bots were entered into Battlebots 6, the latter re-entered into 7. Both bots lost all their matches.
Anti Gravity 3 through 4: Has entered several tournaments, including a few Battlebots tournaments and HTF 2014. It has had a range of failures, mainly Havok DQs.
Anti Gravity Evo: Entered into RoboGauntlet. Beat Bloodwing (built by Botomatic1000 to reach the heat final, but was beaten in the heat final by Minor Discord 2 (built by F1Krazy)
Anti Gravity E/5 Mk. II: Entered into a challenge with Baconus_Yum. Lost after being unable to get under the unique wedge of Black Pyramid Deluxe Rock Catcher, and being shoved and flipped out of the arena when trying to self right.
Anti Gravity E/5 Mk. III: Entered into a challenge with TheRoboteer and won.
Fighter Mk. II: Entered into Light vs Dark. Won the first match it appeared in but lost the second to Paladin, resulting in Avalanche contesting the decision to allow three burst flippers entering, claiming they were ruining the meta and inciting a flame war. It then lost to Paladin twice in the rumble, and again in a Grudge Match. Defeated GrindR in a grudge match, before losing to Solaris.
Fighter Mk. III: An upgraded version Fighter Mk. II. Entered in a challenge board match against Asbestosstar's Fluffy and won 5-0 (plus a 1v2 bonus match).
Fighter Mk. IV: Entered into Robogames, but was eliminated 0-2.
Panzer Strike: The original Panzer Strike was entered into First Strike, where it was eliminated in the first two matches. Panzer Strike Mk. II is a SHW DSL 2.2 Hammer which was entered into Robogames, winning its Eliminator but losing its next fight.
Anti Gravity Evo Mk. IV: Entered into Robogames. Lost its first match in a shock after getting high centered on the wall, but beat its next opponent. A variation of this with a new wedge and wheel guards (in development known as Anti Gravity E/5 Mk. V) was meant to be entered into Light vs Dark: Rematch, but after a lot of issues with builders block and then a mad dash at the last moment to enter, it did not appear in the main competition.
Anti Gravity Evo Mk. V: Built off the design of the Mark. III, this 3-burst version of AGE was sent into a title defense with DSC and won rather controversially. It then was entered into (alongside the classic Fighter Mk. II and the 2-Burst LvDR entry) a Team Avalanche vs Team Dark and Light grudge match: though gulden himself said it was rigged, the 3 piece team actually beat most of the robots without restarting. Ultimately, the only restarted fights were against Swamp Beast and Turbo Blaster.
Crimson Raider: Avalanche's final forum contribution before being banned was to enter a stock MW popup into Revolution 2. Thus far the robot has placed near the top and bottom of the standings in match seeding and has held a .500 win percentage, .750 is one counts seeding matches. Took over a minute to out wedge EMERGENCY and push it off of the clawtop arena.
