    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.

    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.

    • @digitaldeathsquid3448
      @digitaldeathsquid3448 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

  • @amysmileyreid95

      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...

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!

    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.
