junkyard wars

I was watching TV with my father-in-law and we came across a TV show called Junkyard Wars. The purpose of the the Show was to bring groups of different mechanics, engineers and divide them in to groups to see if they can build different things with only the junkyard to supply them with what they need. Each team has 8 hours build the said project. the project themselves varies with each show but both teams build on the same idea or theme. At the end they test it to see which is better plan and executed. The show just showed the idea of brainstorming and prototyping in it most raw form. Also the testing of the idea at the end to see if the idea is actually good or not. No idea is thrown out or looked down on. I thought the innovative ideas were great, and it is all about recicling the parts for their project. watch it
