I was round at my friends house yesterday and his neighbour is Rex Goddard the owner of Cassius and recyclopse anyone heared of these robots. Cassius was on series 1, 2 and 3 I think.
I went over to his house to make paper rockets and he was the builder of brum! I saw it on his table. He also did the upgrade to K9 to make remote control!

Recyclopse was series 1, Cassius series 2 and Cassius 2 series 3. I think he also built a Cassius 3 but didn't use it as he fell out with Mentorn? Ask him to bring them along to some shows for display haha.
He was a kids tv presenter for a bit too if I remember right as well as building Brum.
fell out with mentorn on a health and safety issue, then didnt enter again after that.

...surprised how much behind the scenes politics finds its way onto Wiki, who logs these things?
It's funny how anal the mentorn crew were about some things and yet never bothered with others. Think I saw a good two or three robots be activated accidentally at various times when I was there over the years and yet we were asked to take the robot outside when we were re-spraying the paintjob. It would seem that an aircraft hanger doesn't count as a well ventilated area :P
When I was about 10 I went round to Rex's house, as he lives quite close. That was when I was first getting into robots so he showed me some stuff. Really nice, generous guy, plus I think I got to see Cassius 2 (or it ma have been 3?) half built in his workshop. That's when I really got bitten with the Robot bug!
Did he ever compete with Cassius 3? I went to one of these non-televised events ages ago in Norwich and I think he was there with Cassius 3.
Where about do you live as I live quite near rex's
