Trivia
G.K. has the highest post frequency/day of the regular posters on GTM.

G.K. is a member on the Gametechmods forums. He is an experienced wiki editor and administrator at The Robot Wars Wiki under the name Helloher and is also around on Youtube. He acquired RA2 and joined GTM in November 2009 and is building his skill level at both Stock and DSL. He doesn't feel inspired by any particular builder for his building style, but elements of the styles of Barbie, Urjak, The Ounce and Scrap Daddy can be found in some of his bots.

He has a DSL showcase here and a stock showcase here. He has 6 teams in NAR AI, Team Hell, srezinwP, Team 42, Team G.K., Odds and Ends and The Prototype Junkyard.

He is very helpful around the forums and also contributes to the wiki. He hosted Wheely Tag after Mouldy King Bash experienced technical problems. He has become known as the Tournament Paramedic, helping members through tournaments by AI'ing bots and/or making splashes and/or filming matches. He has done this for Terror Twisters, Combat Clusters, Chinese Whispers, Mechapocalypse, Micro Mayhem Reincarnated, XBW and Xtreemer Than You. As mentioned previously, he took over Wheely Tag completely. He later completed his own tournaments Back to the Beginnings, and the sequels, BTTB 2, BTTB 3 and BTTB 4. Became Tournament Mod in October 2011.

Does not write musicals.

Welsh, and has an unhealthy obsession with the music of R.E.M..

Skill

G.K. is a decent builder, and has finished runner up in both Stock and DSL tournaments.

Stock

Knows how to do all the glitches, just rarely has time to do anything, and often suffers from lack of creativity.

DSL

Isn't at the highest level, but decent and has numerous teams in NAR AI.

Modding

Knows how to do almost everything, is bad at putting it into practice. He made the Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena, and has released BTTB AI. Also, he has made contributions to NAR AI, SkAI High and Backlash in the form of bots and the Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena.

Notable Bots
