G.K.
G.K. is a new-ish member on the Gametechmods forums. He is an experienced wiki editor at The Robot Wars Wiki under the name Helloher and is also around on Youtube. He got RA2 in November 2009 and is building his skill level at both Stock and DSL.
He has a DSL showcase here and a stock showcase here. So far, he feels most influenced by Barbie and Firebeetle for his building style, and is most comfortable building Shell Spinners and Popups. He has 3 teams in NAR AI.
He tries to be helpful around the forums and also contributes to the wiki. Just finished hosting Wheely Tag after Mouldy King Bash experienced technical problems. He has become known as the Tournament Paramedic, helping new members through tournaments by AI'ing bots and/or making splashes. He has done this for Terror Twisters (That he helped to film matches for), Chinese Whispers and TX BW. As mentioned previously, he took over Wheely Tag completely.
Does not write musicals.
