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. Likes to think of himself as a mild-tempered, generally good community member, helping out wherever possible.
Ranked 6th in the Rust In Pieces standings, a series of tournaments that he runs himself, won the BTRSHDBBDDTBL awards in BBEANS6 and RA2TC, was the Grand Champion of IRL Tourney and runner up of Our Replicas Are Different.
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 run a 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.
The follow-up to Rust In Pieces, Rust In Pieces 2, was a DSL SHW tournament with 16 competitors. yoda9726's Gluttony won the main bracket, while Naryar's Shiva won the Loser's Bracket.
Craaig also run RIMP - mainly made of various grudge matches and challenges for all RIP1 and RIP2 bots, much like a 'Robot Wars Extreme' style tournament. The phrase RIMP was turned into a GTM Meme by yoda9726, closely followed by Naryar and is fairly common over many of Craaig's topics.
More recently, Craaig run Pokemon: The League Of Getehem, a DSL HW tournament for Pokemon replicas, won by Naryar's Aerodactyl replica.
He is currently running RIP3, the 3rd in the Rust In Pieces series, a DSL MW/LW Cluster tournament with 32 entries.

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 (and many others) had seen.
DSL:
Skilled builder. Builds mainly Vertical Spinners, and tends to build series of robots instead of individual machines, currently mainly working with the 'Orange' design, which has spawned successful robots such as Blood Orange (BBEANS6), Immunization (RIP2) and Fever (TA).
