Rear-hinged flipping arms

Front-Hinged Flipping Arms were less common than rear-hinged ones but would become even more influential on combat robotics. The pioneer of flipping arms was one of these few: Rex Garrod's Cassius, the first robot in the UK to ever self-right and only the third anywhere in the world. After finishing second in Series 2, clones were spawned of Cassius, most notably Firestorm and Gravedigger who reached the Series Semi-Finals of the following wars, outperforming Cassius itself in that series. Despite these successes, front-hinged flipping arms remained few and far between.
