Craaig
Craaig joined the forums in March 2009, and describes himself as a 'generally happy guy', although some just take him as 'random'. His real name is Craig, for those who didn't guess.
He likes to think of himself of a general good community member, helping out everywhere as much as possible, including in technical support topics and on the Wiki, and running 2 tournaments for the enjoyment of members (see below). He also likes to think of himself as a good sportsman within tournaments.
When Craaig signed up, he was quite a n00b and co-made the 25x Post of Shit with Hydro. He even given the Spamweight Post Rank for several weeks, and became one of the Two Gods of Shit although these n00bish habits are well in the past.
Tournament Running
Craaig has begun his own DSL MW tournament, Rust In Pieces, mainly due to the lack of DSL tournaments currently taking place. It has 22 competitors, and the Winner's Bracket has been completed, while the Loser's Bracket is under filming.
He is now hosting the Not Overly Epic Showdown, Sparkey vs Avalanche, to find out who would win. Avalanche's bots orignially gave him trouble due to the Sage's Skin Pack stuff, but G.K. fixed them. Round 1 has been completed while the other 2 are coming soon - although not soon enough for some members such as Stagfish who flamed Craaig for not putting enough videos out, when the reason had been made clear and was fully justified.
Notable Tournament Entries
-RA2: Brawl of the Builders - First ever tournament - lost fight to R0B0SH4RK - bot came 13th in that round.
-His Clash Cubes 2 entry, Shinigami, was well liked by several members of the community, and although losing Round 1 to MikeNCR, and in Round 2 of the Loser's Bracket, lost to R0B0SH4RK - again. Spawned a series of robots, often shortened to 'Shini'.
-N00b Warz 2 - KILLER PINK BOT OF DOOM - lost a wheel and got TKOed in Round 2.
-Doomed Bots - Reshade3 - knocked out in Round 2.
-King of Karnage - Vicious Chicken of Bristol - defeated in Round 2.
-RAW2 (teamed with JoeBlo) - MK Ultra - lost Round 1 of Winners and Losers Brackets, after some decidedly bad draws.
-Replica Wars - Bigger Brother - thrown OotA by GF93's Cassius 2 in Round 2 - Notoriously bad replica
-Wheely Tag Tournament (teamed with JoeBlo - Team Awesomesauce) - The Orange Is A Tasty Fruit - Team came 3rd overall. Spawned a series of robots, mainly shortened to the name 'Orange'
Bot Building
He tends not to showcase all too much any more, often only building for tournaments. He seems to have a tendency for making 'odd' or 'insane' bots for tournaments, because most people 'take stuff too seriously'.
Stock:
Craaig doesn't tend to build in stock at all any more, but recently showcased a Complex FS, the first Craaig had seen.
DSL:
All his bots are decidedly generic, although Vertical Spinners are his personal favourite, having built a huge S3-Style VS Shinigami for Clash Cubes 2, and has built very many similar robots, but vows to stop building them soon due to criticism of the design. He tends to build series of robots instead of individual machines.
