Adviser Team

These are foremost members of Bath University, although one core team member is more of an adviser, so he's been moved here.

They're also the only team whom currently gets paid - apart from the one who got moved out of the core team.

Moss

CTO (Chief Technology Officer)

Moss's job is currently an advisor role. Since he is one of the original three core team members, the border around his picture is orange instead of cyan.

Moss is not his real name, however his real name is unpronounceable. His nickname is a shortened version of Moschops, which was a 1983 children's TV series he liked. The title character is named after a type of dinosaur, which is Greek for "calf face". This is nothing to do with the IT Crowd series, which started 23 years later in 2006.

He does a lot of charity work.
