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.
+
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. Still doesn't completely understand the rules for batteries.

NFX is one of the few Scottish members of Gametechmods, others being System32 and Scourge of teh Galaxy.
Memorable Quote
"I see what u did there"

"PMbomb'd" "<expletive>"


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.

He has a Stock showcase here and a DSL showcase 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. Still doesn't completely understand the rules for batteries.

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.

Skill

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.

DSL - Has reached a reasonably good 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

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.
