'''NFX''' is a relative newcomer to the Gametechmods community, having first downloaded Robot Arena 2 in August 2009, and joining the GTM 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, reveicing 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.

Currently, he tends to offer insights into the newer members' bots, covering most of the simpler aspects, such as chassis management and basic glitching, leaving the more experienced members, such as [[Naryar]] and [[Pwnator]] to go into more detail about things like efficiency.
+
His Stock showcase can be found [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2322.0 here],  and his DSL showcase [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=3750.0 here]. R0B0SH4RK once described him as "possibly the most underrated builder on the forums". NFX is also a strong Bot Of The Month contender.

He has a Stock showcase [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2322.0 here] and a DSL showcase [https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=3750.0 here]. He was recently described by R0B0SH4RK as "possibly the most underrated builder on the forums". He occasionally builds replicas to quite a good standard (see his Shunt and Dead Metal replicas in the Replica Showcase for some good examples), 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.
 
−
 
 
−
In the more off-topic sections of the forum, he has become known for both his skilful use of the image editing program Paint.NET, with which he created both his signature and his avatar, as well as his slightly sharper sense of humour. He has also made a number of 'MS Paint Bots', which were well-received by others.

'''Stock''' - Knows almost all of the glitches, and can build some reasonably competitive bots, though has a slightly more experimental style. Tends to build popups and HS bots only, but has recently branched out with a number of hybrids.
+
'''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 reasonable 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.
 
−
 
 
−
'''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]]

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 here, and his DSL showcase here. R0B0SH4RK once described him as "possibly the most underrated builder on the forums". NFX is also a strong Bot Of The Month contender.

Skill

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 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 - 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.

Other Notable Robots

Halestorm - A Stock HW Popup series, which has gradually improved over its eight incarnations, specifically with SnapperII work and extender setups.

Present Of Doom - His BOTM Entry for December 2010, coming second to Clickbeetle. It featured his first public showing of reskinned components: a red DSL Disc which read "To ACAMS. Merry Xmas!"

Crab Salad - A DSL LW Rammer that utilises the Trov Chassis glitch, known for its unique weapon setup. Its potency was displayed in a screenshot showing a KO victory over the fearsome Mako. It is available in NAR AI 2.7 as Rat Trap.

Pyramid Scheme - A pyramid-shaped Stock HW Flipper with a smiley face on the front. Liked for its humour, and there is also footage of it upending Hammer Of Justice.

Sundancer - A pair of DSL LW HS, each one identical to the other, apart from one being effectively upside-down. Similar in principle to The Iron Outlaws, NFX can choose which way up to begin the match.

Hosting

So far, NFX has only attempted to host one official tournament, Mechapocalypse. However, due to university work and time constraints, he was unable to continue with it.

He has also hosted the Home Nations Tournament, an unofficial tournament between himself, Goldenfox93, G.K. and lloopp d lloopp, on the basis that each of the four countries of the United Kingdom would be represented.
