Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers

Posted by Roblimo on Monday October 21, 2002 @04:00AM from the where-welding-skills-trump-coding-prowess-every-time dept.

Junkyard Wars (and the British Scrapheap Challenge) have long been popular with Slashdot readers. Now Cathy is co-host of a new show, Full Metal Challenge, that also involves teams building strange machines out of this and that. Take a look at this 'Cathy' fan site (and possibly her less interesting official biography), then ask away. (Usual Slashdot interview rules.)

If so, why is Henry Rollins hosting? This man represents brawn over intellect.
I don't see why. Besides writing some of the more articulate lyrics, he's written a shitload of books runs a record label / publishing house and always gives good interview/a.

Just because he lifts weights, doesn't mean he's dumb?

Have any (and if so, which) of the constructs ever made you fear for your own life? I'm surprised none of them have ever had a major meltdown that sent the crews fleeing the scene.
