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. 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 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. He enjoyed some mild success in the early days of MKW, holding many North American regional records for 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.

Although the rivalries were Robin's original claim to fame, he has always been eager to help out the MK64 site wherever he is needed, which has led him to take on a wide variety of jobs over the years. Most notably, he was the sole times updater from 2005 to 2008 and distributed the POW awards from 2007 to 2010.

Robin was one of the original trio of MKWii updaters with [[William Lacey]] and [[Kristopher Will]]. He did most of the times updates for the first couple months and still pops by occasionally to help out when the other updaters disappear.
