− | Robin has been a member of the kart community since 2003, when he joined the [[Mario Kart 64]] Player's Page. It was the first video game he ever played competitively, so at first he moved slowly from the bottom of the charts. However, after a couple years of playing he eventually made a breakthrough and went quickly from Semi-Pro to Elite B in Summer 2005, and then Elite B to King B in Summer 2007. Robin's favorite course is Rainbow Road, where he also has his best ranked time, a Legend C flap. In the past couple years he has played sparingly, but he still gets an occasional PR and has no plans to ever "officially" retire. | + | Robin has been a member of the kart community since 2003, when he joined the [[Mario Kart 64]] Player's Page.

| Robin is also a member of the [[SMK]], [[MKSC]], [[MKDD]], [[MKDS]], and [[MKW]] pages, making him one of the few players to be ranked on all 6 sites. SMK is his second favorite kart game, but he prefers Match Race to Time Trials there and so has never quite broken into the top 100 on the site. He enjoyed some mild success in MKW during its infancy, holding many North American regional records in the first few weeks, but he stopped playing after two months and has since fallen out of the top 100. Robin also played online under the nickname Honekko and was a leader of the "MK64 Stars" clan that dominated MKW's Wifi scene for those early months. While he enjoys the entire kart series, the vast majority of Robin's karting time has been spent on MK64, so his rank in the other games is quite low. Perhaps someday if he "maxes out" in MK64 he will consider putting serious effort into climbing the ranks of another Mario Kart. | | Robin is also a member of the [[SMK]], [[MKSC]], [[MKDD]], [[MKDS]], and [[MKW]] pages, making him one of the few players to be ranked on all 6 sites.
