Trivia
He is an experienced wiki editor and administrator at The Robot Wars Wiki under the name Helloher.

G.K. is a member on the Gametechmods forums. He acquired RA2 and joined GTM in November 2009 and is now a capable builder, despite numerous spells not playing the game. He doesn't feel inspired by any particular builder for his building style, but elements of the styles of Fracture and Scrap Daddy can be found in some of his bots.

He has a DSL showcase here, a Stock showcase here and an Ironforge showcase here. He has 5 teams in NAR AI, Team Hell, srezinwP, Team 42, Team G.K. & Odds and Ends.

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 and remains so despite several long spells of inactivity. Currently hosting BTTB V.

IRL, GK is Welsh, a trumpet player, improv comedy actor, tenor and theatre producer, but does not write musicals.

Skill

G.K. is a decent builder. He has finished runner up in several Stock & DSL tournaments, and has been champion in 3 DSL tournaments and 1 stock tournament. Between 2010 and 2013 skinned basically all his bots with the same thing. Ranked 25th in BBEANS, was 5th in CCIV and 6th in BTTB.

Stock

Very good at the glitches. Likes HW popups. Not often creative, which is a limiting factor.

DSL

Isn't at the highest level, but decent and has numerous teams in NAR AI. Has basically stopped building competitively.

Ironforge

Has only built 4 bots, but thinks it's a bunch of fun.

Modding

Knows how to do almost everything in 2012, was bad at putting it into practice in 2012, and is absolutely out of practice in the present day. He made the Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena, and has released BTTB AI.
