| Description: |
Junkyard Wars is a television series where two four-person teams convene at a junkyard and are given a task, e.g., "Build a vehicle that will carry all four team members around our course, but (sorry!) we're all out of wheels!" We follow them as they design the machine, scavenge junk parts to build it, run into problems and adjust the design, etc. Along the way the mechanical/electrical principles they are using are sketched onscreen as well as the explanation of any problems that occur. |
