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.

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.
