'''Madiaba''' is, without a doubt, one of the most influential members in RA2 history. His status developed quickly and inspired many members to make a name for themselves. Mad is primarily renowned for his crazy ideas, exceptional technical expertise, and awesome mods. His first mods showcase was entitled "Mad's Mods: thoughts + tweaks" and was released in August 9, 2007.
Alhough much of his work was done "behind the scenes," he helped members organize/run tourneys, solve difficult/problematic bots, and create new mods. In fact, he has worked with and recieved compliments from many of the big names of RA2 including [[Serge]], [[Clickbeetle]], and [[ACAMS]]. Amidst the many other modders that he influenced, you see [[JoeBlo]], [[SpyGuy]], [[philetbabe]], [[Sage]], [[Trovaner]], and [[70 CUDA]].
== Achievements ==
* Winner of [[GUMBA]]
* Co-winner of [[BOTM]] for November of 2008 with [[Sage]]
* Once created an entire arena from scratch using notepad.
== Notable Mods ==
This is an incomplete list of Mad's best work. He has had his finger in one too many pies to list them all here. In fact, Mad has over 26 arenas of his own (as of June 2010).
For a more complete list of most of Madiaba's mods, check it his mod showcases:
* [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,841.0.html > Mad's Mods (more thoughts and tweaks)]
* [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,707.0.html Mad and Cudas mods and tweaks]
He has also done quite a few tutorials in:
* [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1103.0.html AI-ing (.py files, coding, nose-orienting R+D, and help)]
=== Arenas ===
* BattleGround_Terra_1 - A Star Trek-like battlefield where long-ranged robots rule.
* Hangar 'Alien Visitors' Arena - Spinning propellers, a system for recovery, and some disgruntled Aliens.
* Pittsfield Arena - An arena with a random housebot that is selected at the beginning of the match.
* The Workshop Arena - Playable version of the [[practice arena]] with an event.
* The [[Starcore v4]] [[Practice Arena]] - Complete with two levels, an additional button, secret rooms, and a Vista computer
* Matrix Arena - An arena with a monster and no dedicated floor.
=== AI ===
* S.O.W. (description and download available [http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1492.msg30338/topicseen.html#msg30338 here])
* FBS_1 (renamed to SnS_1)
=== Components ===
* Smart Zones v3 - the defacto standard for AIing bots with smartzones.
* AP Cannons - cannons with attachment points. What could go wrong?
== Notable Bots ==
* [http://gametechmods.com/TournamentFiles/botm/nov08/botm8.jpg ATOM] - Co-designed by [[Sage]], this little number won [[BOTM]] for November 2008.
* [[Skinhead]] - [[DSL]] [[S.O.W.]] downward [[poker]] winner of [[GUMBA]]
* [[Daisy Might]] - [[DSL]] [[HW]] [[HS]] that participated in [[RAw]] 1
* [[Arrow Head]] - [[Stock]] [[MW]] [[HS]] that was on a team with [[Phlox]]'s [[Simpy Volatile]] in [[Tag Team Challenge]]
* [[Debaitor]] - [[Stock]] bot that was on a team with [[Pyscolone]]'s [[TWEEK]] in [[RAW 2]]. It is also worth noting that it is a co-build between Mad and one of his friends.
== Contests/Tournaments Hosted ==
* [[GUMBA]] - tournament that was taken over from [[70 CUDA]]; in which, he also got assistance from [[Sage]]
* [[Magnetic Photon-Phazer Arena]] Skinning Contest - an arena skinning contest
