Rex's pacifism and commitment to entice kids to get into building things is still heart warming to watch.

@Shaunography Жыл бұрын

He would do free seminars for kids with Gerry Francis (Robot the Bruce, Chaos etc) at the Ipswich Museum. Amazing times, I didn't realise at the time how lucky I was to attend those

Cassius was so entertaining to watch. I love Rex Garrod so much - what a good guy!

When you think about it, Rex's legacy lived on for a long time. Flippers have always been the 'pacifist' option on RW, and the best success against the House Robots have always come from them - Bigger Brother, Firestorm, Chaos 2, Thermidor, WBCheese, and Gravity. I think if the House Roboteers had behaved themselves instead of going mental like they have previously, they would not have contributed to this feeling of taking on the big bad guys. S2 and S1 were very much the Arena against the robots, not against one another.

That opening angle from the Groundhog/Loco match was so cool. Watching Robot Wars again over 15 years older than when I started watching makes me appreciate the camera and editing work in the shows. (I'm a videographer today!)

And this is why Cassius was always my favourite. It's heartbreaking he never did anything after series 3.

I would have been curious what kind of creations Rex Garrod would have come up with had he continued beyond season 3. After all, Cassius 2 had a whole bunch of gadgets on it and even an anti-pit device. However, he was let down by incompetent driving mates and falling into the pit the wrong way.

+Mitjitsu He did end up making Cassius 3 which just looked like a more armored Chaos 2.

Chaos 2. He played quite a part in building it.

I know this is a few years late, but he stopped participating in RW becauase of lack of safety behind the scenes and he couldn't tolerate the production company anymore.

I love the cowboy shot of Groundhog! Too bad it was hopeless in battle, as for Wizard. Loco did well, very well for a 13 year old driver and Rex Garrard just wanted to fight off with the house robots! Matilda must've hated him so much lmao, Cassius is better engineered than Recyclopse.

It tells you something about how good cassius was to be able to take on four much bigger robots and still give them a run for their money.

@Jimera0 13 жыл бұрын

You know you're beast when you're outnumbered 3 to one by robots that are intended to be invincible... and you manage to incapacitate one of them anyway!

Boy, Groundhog sucked, and the driving was pretty pants too. But don't worry, boys- you'll rise. You'll certainly rise. God, Rex Garrod was such an inspiration- a gentleman and a scholar. Too good for this sinful War- he resigned for your sins. "Well you gotta try, haven't you?" Words to live by.

One of things I like about the first couple of series is that people made a real variety of designs but later on, it came down to the block (Tornado, Panic Attack), Wedges with flippers (Firestorm, Big Brother, Chaos 2) and the disc (Hypnodisc) with unique designs like Razor.

@retardskull according to on RobotWars Wiki, he left because he felt their was too much buracruacy in Robot Wars with many rules being unnessercery. The other bigger reason was he felt Health and Safety standards were too inadequite during the series 2 one incident occuring that saw someone hospitalised by a robot, (this occuring after he had warned them about lax safty standards and they had not listened) and when he returned for series 3 a simular incident occured. so he retired from the wars.
