TheRoboteer, also known as Robo or TR, is a [[GTM]] user who joined the forums in June 2016. However, He had lurked GTM for around 2 years prior to him finally making an account. He first found out about [[Robot Arena 2]] in 2011 when looking for Robot Wars games on Youtube. He downloaded [[stock]] RA2 and played it exclusively without visiting GTM at all other than to download the game for roughly 3 years. A hard drive failure resulted in him losing his copy of RA2 and forgetting about the game for about a year. However, in 2015 he rediscovered RA2 and GTM, and this time downloaded DSL 2.1 and began lurking the forums in late 2015. After updating to [[DSL]] 2.2, he decided to join the forums, but did not make his first post until a few months after joining. He also has a strong like for Front-Hinged [[Flipper]]s, and has produced numerous bots of this type during his time on the forum.

TheRoboteer plays DSL almost exclusively, though has recently branched out to try [[Ironforge]] and [[Stock]] building in order to compete in the 2nd GameTechMods Championship. He is a strong believer that DSL-IRL should stay as close to real life robotics as possible, and as a result his building style tends to fall into neither the artbot, nor competitive designs camp, with his builds instead focusing on being as close to designs that could be built in real life as possible, regardless of competitiveness in RA2, and often even visual flair.
    +
His abilities in DSL are average to below average. As of late, he exclusively builds extenderbots utilising [[Dragonsteincole]]'s IRL packs of coloured extenders and armour panels. Some of his more recent robots built in this style have garnered praise, however his building skills below Middleweight level are still far from up-to-scratch. That said, his bots have already found some success in tournaments in his time on the forum, with his robots Caldera 3 finishing as runner-up in The Cybernetic Colosseum, Enceladus finishing 3rd place in the Robogames, and Bocuma III and Sabre each winning a side event in Orc's Wars.

== Tournament Performances ==

TheRoboteer's tournament performances tend to vary wildly in terms of success. He has notably seen success in the 2nd Gametechmods Championship, reaching the final 8 of the stock division, and the final 4 of both the DSL and Ironforge divisions before being eliminated. Despite this success, TheRoboteer has still yet to win a full scale tournament ,depsite a multitude of high placings in tournaments, and wins in side events. TheRoboteer's bots also has a tendency to either run deep into the tournament, or to lose at the first opportunity possible which leads to the wild inconsistency of his tournament record.

TheRoboteer plays DSL exclusively, and only builds in an [[IRL]], or close-to IRL style.

== Notable Bots ==
   −
His abilities in DSL are average to below average. He recently began using [[Serge]]'s [[Component Freedom]] mod in order to enhance his builds, and has also recently discovered [[BFE]] and has used it to augment some of his builds. However, he often builds quite bland, conventional bots and has failed to make anything really new or innovative in his time on the forums so far. He also gives the vast majority of his bots the same crude blue and grey/black colour scheme, and a crude skin which often merely includes the bot's name. That said, his bots have already found some success in tournaments in TheRoboteer's time on the forum, with his robot Caldera 3 finishing as runner-up in The Cybernetic Colosseum.

Strychinine - An entry into the loosely-IRL Redditbots tournament held by the BattleBots subreddit. This robot surprisingly became runner-up in the competition, defying everyone's expectations and beating numerous bots including [[DemonOfTomorrow]]'s [[Polonium-210]], before being beaten in the grand final.
    +
Sabre I-IV - A narrow front hinge flipper which surprised many including TheRoboteer himself by reaching the semi finals of the Orc's Wars display tournament, and also becoming the winner of the challenge belt in that same tournament. Is also notable for being TheRoboteer's personal favourite bot that he has built.
    +
Caldera 3 - A Stinger-esque front hinge flipper which was entered into [[Badnik96]]'s tournament The Cybernetic Colosseum. This robot also surprised many by becoming the runner-up in its weight class, before losing to [[Baconus Yum]]'s mechavore spinner.

== Notable Bots ==

Bocuma (1, 2 & 3) - TheRoboteer's 'signature' line of robots. All armed with front-hinged flippers and but with varying chassis designs over the course of the series. Bocuma III became World Champion of [[TheOrcCorp]]'s Orc's Wars tournament, despite failing to qualify for the main tournament.

Strychinine - An entry into the loosely-IRL Redditbots tournament held by the Battlebots subreddit. This robot surprisingly became runner-up in the competition, defying everyones expectations before being beaten in the grand final.
