Overview
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 Flippers, and has produced numerous bots of this type during his time on the forum.
Bot Building
TheRoboteer plays DSL almost exclusively (built only once in Stock for Banter Wars Series 3), and only builds in an IRL, or close-to IRL style.
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.
Notable Bots
Strychinine - An entry into the loosely-IRL Redditbots tournament held by the BattleBots subreddit. This robot surprisingly became runner-up in the competition, defying everyone's expectations and beating numerous bots including DemonOfTomorrow's Polonium-210, before being beaten in the grand final.
Subterfuge - A Minion disc VS which was entered into DemonOfTomorrow's Annihilation Nation tournament. Lost in the first round via its disc glitching into the floor, but managed to fair reasonably well in the rumble.
Caldera 3 - A Stinger-esque front hinge flipper which was entered into Badnik96's tournament The Cybernetic Colosseum. This robot also surprised many by becoming the runner-up in its weight class, before losing to Baconus Yum's mechavore spinner.
Bocuma (1, 2 & 3) - TheRoboteer's 'signature' line of robots. All armed with front-hinged flippers and but with varying chassis designs over the course of the series. Bocuma III became World Champion of TheOrcCorp's Orc's Wars tournament, despite failing to qualify for the main tournament.
Enceladus - Another front hinge flipper that was entered into DemonOfTomorrow's Robogames tournament, where it had some success, coming 3rd in the heavyweight division.
