− | TheRoboteer is a [[GTM]] user who joined the forums in June 2016. However, He had lurked GTM for around 2 years prior to him finally making an account. He first found out about [[Robot Arena 2]] in 2011 when looking for Robot Wars games on Youtube. He downloaded [[stock]] RA2 and played it exclusively without visiting GTM at all other than to download the game for roughly 3 years. A hard drive failure resulted in him losing his copy of RA2 and forgetting about the game for about a year. However, in 2015 he rediscovered RA2 and GTM, and this time downloaded DSL 2.1 and began lurking the forums in late 2015. After updating to [[DSL]] 2.2, he decided to join the forums, but did not make his first post until a few months after joining. He also has a strong like for Front-Hinged [[Flipper]]s, and has produced numerous bots of this type during his time on the forum. | + | TheRoboteer, also known as Robo or TR, is a [[GTM]] user who joined the forums in June 2016.

| His abilities in DSL are average to below average. As of late, he exclusively builds extenderbots utilising [[Dragonsteincole]]'s IRL packs of coloured extenders and armour panels. Some of his more recent robots built in this style have garnered praise, however his building skills below Middleweight level are still far from up-to-scratch. That said, his bots have already found some success in tournaments in his time on the forum, with his robots Caldera 3 finishing as runner-up in The Cybernetic Colosseum, Enceladus finishing 3rd place in the Robogames, and Bocuma III and Sabre each winning a side event in Orc's Wars. | | His abilities in DSL are average to below average.

| + | TheRoboteer's tournament performances tend to vary wildly in terms of success. He has notably seen success in the 2nd Gametechmods Championship, reaching the final 8 of the stock division, and the final 4 of both the DSL and Ironforge divisions before being eliminated. Despite this success, TheRoboteer has still yet to win a full scale tournament ,depsite a multitude of high placings in tournaments, and wins in side events. TheRoboteer's bots also has a tendency to either run deep into the tournament, or to lose at the first opportunity possible which leads to the wild inconsistency of his tournament record. |
