Craaig

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.

He likes to think of himself of a general good community member, helping out everywhere as much as possible, including in technical support topics and on the Wiki, and running 2 tournaments for the enjoyment of members (see below). He also likes to think of himself as a good sportsman within tournaments.

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 had his own 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, Sparkey vs Avalanche, to find out who would win. In the end, Avalanche won all 3 matches.

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 recently showcased a Complex FS, the first Craaig had seen.

DSL: All his bots are decidedly generic, although Vertical Spinners are his personal favourite, having built a huge S3-Style VS Shinigami for Clash Cubes 2, and has built very many similar robots, but vows to stop building them soon due to criticism of the design. He tends to build series of robots instead of individual machines.
