a Robot Wars Legend
I remember watching the second series of robot wars as a kid and Cassius really did stand out from the rest, not only in design but how well it was controlled. RIP Rex Garrod a real pioneer
There was Mortis as well.
RIP REX GARROD. Looked up and idolised this man as a kid. Thank you for the memory’s with me and my dad…
RIP to a true legend. I loved cassius. Going after the house robots and the pacman on the robot was amazing. As a kid I was gutted he didn't come back after series 3 was such good entertainment. Forever and always the king of roboteers
I lived next-door to Rex for a little while. One of the nicest men I've ever met, happy to answer my questions and unannounced visit. Shew me lots of interesting stuff and so encouraging to everyone.
He's a true legend in the village. Genius of our time.
God bless and r i p rex. X
The only regret I have is that I never got to meet rex sadly. .it would of been a dream of mine. X
Very saddened to hear of Rex Garrod's passing earlier this month. Loved Brum and watching him go after the house robots with Cassius as a kid, especially 11:22, me and my dad were talking about it for weeks. Rip Rex and thanks for the memories and the inspiration
Nooooooo!! 😢😢 I was just re-living my childhood memories and saw this… R.I.P Rex Garrod!! You inspired me in school to enter a robot competition well to pester my teacher to enter us in one and we one!! 🏆 and that was down to you. Thank you so much for your inspiration 👏🏾👏🏾
20:33 "I had my money on you" "Well, I'm terribly sorry, you lost it" Lol
The godfather of the srimech, it all started from the roboteering/engineering genius that is Rex Garrod. Brilliant machine and way ahead of its time. 👍
John Williams and the father of Brum the little yellow car.
obi wan that’s correct.
Chaos also had a scrimech, but it's one failed in it's battle with Mace.
I was always disappointed that Cassius didn't become a mainstay in Robot Wars, they went out in the second round in the 3rd series and then never came back, I would love to see Rex Garrod create a new robot for the revamped series, because he was a brilliant roboteer back in the earlier series.
TheTradge Sadly there are rumours he's either passed away or has dementia :(
Angmering
No he refused to work with Robot Wars after an argument about rules. It’s all on google
He has just recently died, and of alzheimers.
And I'd have loved to see him come back too, though again had it not been for the rules and that...
Rex Tried Too enter with Cassius 3 in the 4th wars but failed miserably after this rules conflict
There were actually quite a few behind-the-scenes controversies surrounding health and safety standards in Series 3. Cassius 2 was unfortunately affected by them when the production team effectively ruled that Cassius 2 could only use their CO2 bottle (which powered both the flipper and the new spike at the back) once per fight.
This, plus quite a few other incidents, including a rogue robot that injured one of the technical team, caused a few roboteers including Garrod to leave the competition altogether. It's even rumoured that Cassius 2 driving into the pit in its second round battle with Pussycat was Rex's protest exit from the show.
Sadly I don't think we'll know the truth of that drive, as Rex Garrod passed away in April last year.
Cassius was the best non house robot in the history of Robot Wars. That self righting arm was amazing plus it kicked the house robots arses as well
Or Firestorm, going after house robots multiple times and being the only robot to flip Mr. Psycho.
Newsflash just in from our Regional Idiom Department: I've had a terrible thought about my last comment, Bloop. It's too late to delete it now, so if it's true that Rex is/was suffering with his health, I APOLOGISE UNRESERVEDLY FOR MY USE OF 'INSENSITIVE' LANGUAGE. As you know, here in Britain the term 'totally crackers' is only ever used affectionately and with a smile about people we respect, but elsewhere in the world things may be different. I think the American equivalent would be to describe someone as "Crazy - like a fox!" (to wit: 'not crazy at all, but admirable for their unconventional ingenuity'). I hope nobody took offence. Oh, what a rogue and peasant slave am I...
"Well I'm not much of a footballer, but there is one thing I'm pleased about, the boys scored first!" ..... could there be a nicer chap than Rex Garrod!! Some people were all about winning on this show, Rex was always about the love of the hobby and he was at home helping out fellow teams when they had problems....that is sheer class!
Me and my dad have very different tastes even more so as a kid but robot wars was the one show we both loved and Cassius was one of my all time favourites, that first self right was awesome to witness as a kid I was truly shocked
11:20. Possibly why you are here.
how did you know?
The highlight of my childhood!
You got it.
The day the SHRMEC was invented. He basically changed Robot Wars forever
Amazing revolutionary moment
Cassius was THEE best robot ever and its drivers! It gave us so much entertainment when he used to go after the house Robots! a Legend!
I remember seeing cassius for the first time ever flip itself back over.. first time ever. Changed the whole dynamic of robot wars
Thank so much been looking for this for years loved this robot
Cassius was in a league of its own. Rex is one of the most influential builders in robot wars history. Also coined the term self righting mechanism.
Just learned about Rex Garrod passing away... really sad. God bless you, sir.
Ohhhh Rex. You remind me so much of some of the wonderful men I have known in my life. Men who taught me to do things that I should be able to do. Many of these I learned. I'm shit at sharpening knives, but I can do a valve grind on and set the tappets on a 1910-1980's engine if I have the tools.I have done plenty of electronics but I'm colour blind and can't codes resistors. If a legacy is the point of a life I sure hope you get to rest easy.
I absolutely love Rex's attitude towards it all. Immobilise the opponent without destroying it and go on to attack the house robots with full venom!
All his life he's encouraged kids to get into engineering and robotics, I can totally see his point!
RIP Rex Garrod 1943 - 2019 (not only a great roboteer, but the creator of Brum!)
Whenever I see that self-righting flip, I imagine hearing the Mach 5's Jump Jacks.
RIP Rex Garrod :(
11:23 was where Cassius was cemented as my most favorite robot in the series.
God, Rex was such a good sport, too. Keeping the House Robots away from his opponents as much as he could.
back in the day self righting was almost elegant. These days when a robot self rights it's like a violent explosion and they sometimes have to do it 2 or 3 times because they do a 360 flip and end up upside-down again lol
The big problem with the second series is because of all the trial stuff they do. Robots weren't built with the primary intention of fighting. It was always going to favour a rambot like Panic Attack.
Remember watching that final live. Panic attack wasn't even in the same league and got away with it
Rex didn't return to robotwars because of safety... or lack of safety. There was an incident in either s2 or s3 and he wasn't happy hence why he didn't return.
Just heard about Rex Garrod
Gee, we've lost a genius.
Ahhhhh Cassius, the grandfather of Chao 2. From Ipswich with love.
R.I.P Rex... you will be sorely missed
still a shame Cassius didnt win, couldn't believe it when i was a kid
God Bless You Rex!
You May Not Be The Best Driver!
But You Have Built A Wonderful Robot!
Gutted I Never Met You In Person!
See You In Heaven!🌈⛅🌅🌌👍
My favourite robot!
Loved this show
Wanted to see this one for a long time. This brings back some memories. What year was this from, 1999? I would have been 12 or 13 at the time!
Have heard that Rex is sadly suffering from dementia these days. It's always the good people 😐
R.I.P Rex Garrod
RIP Rex Garrod
I only just found out that he was the creator of 'Brum', as in the little yellow car
I would have made a bonus episode where it's just Cassius vs the house robots in single combat. I think he could have taken em.
Thank you for the Hypno disc vids that I requested in a earlier video.
Is it possible for you to do dominator 2 series 4 and 5?
Blooper Sphoof Thanks again, I don't mind the wait. Also for series 4 Doninator 2, is it possible to include the series 4 annihilator?
Mastering robot wars was only one of his many achievements
I remember seeing a news report of him building something to allow people with certain disabilities to fly a plane or something to that effect I was very young at the time, man was truly amazing
He invented the selfrighting mechanism
Rip Rex
i like the new intro, but needs more firestorm lol
3:28 speaking of the firestorm before firestorm could you make al fight with him? after all he tipped over sir killalot XD
14:22 Looks exactly like Apollo doing the same thing in the Diotoir fight in the International Special
5:40 The arena wall is broken!
13:27 The awkward moment that Dead Metal’s already close to the pit.
Argue with me all you want but Cassius is the old og flipper
Cassius has got to be the best robot NOT to win the championship
I'd say Hypno Disc and possibly Pussycat and firestorm are strong contenders for that
@@chowt002 bigger brother was always a strong contender too. but Cassius has to be at the top because of how innovative it was for future designs with the self righter
Cassius and Hypnodisk. And noone else
The intrusiveness of the House Robots in series 2 was unbearable
i miss the ppz......totally unfair but still
Rex the goal is this way
the intro is so useless....
your existence is useless...
old channel looking at your content makes your comment even more funny
thatdude2257 I'd enjoy that. Please record it so i can take a look at it later
at least this guy has videos if you dont like them or the intro you can simple fuck off
ever heard of oppinions? doesn't seem like it.
The comment section is free for everyone, i'm just giving of my oppinion. Which is: Useless intro
So why don't you mind your own business and "fuck off"?
RIP Rex Garrod
