GoldenFox93
Goldenfox93 is a user on the Gametechmods forums. Hailing from Lincolnshire in England, he actually joined in 2007, but thought that he needed it to download stuff on the website, but it turns out it didn't. As a result, he initially only posted a couple of times, but then forgot about his account.
About two years later, he rediscovered it, and now posts much more regularly, becoming one of GTM's more recognizable figures in the off-topic sections of the forum.

Building Style
Stock: GF93 does consider himself fairly skilled in Stock, gradually learning the tricks of the trade from other users and the Starcore AI packs. His tournament success in Stock has generally been quite respectable, and earned his first Tournament Championship from it, albiet in a realistic tournament. However, he generally does not use glitch techniques to build, only going as far as Stacking batteries most of the time.
DSL: GF93 also builds in DSL, but he considers himself less skilled there, having trouble building effective wedges and non-cloned designs in most cases. Almost ironically, several of his best tournament results were obtained using it. Lately, he discovered skill in the field of IRL building in DSL, and has a liking for building replicas of real-life robots and IRL-styled designs.
In both Stock and DSL, he enjoys building Flippers, Popups and Rammers, but does like to experiment with other robot types now and then.
