Operation Junkyard

Operation Junkyard debuted in fall 2002 as part of the Discovery Kids Saturday morning programming schedule. Essentially a spin-off of TLC's popular series Junkyard Wars, OP/JY featured teams of teens that were challenged to build gadgets out of junk in six hours. Teams featured on the show include the Rummaging Robots and Jurassic Junkers, and the teams were tasked to build gadgets like water bailing machines, mud scooters, and remote control battleships. At the beginning of each show the challenge of the day was revealed and teams attempted to collect "bodgits" by completing small challenges. "Bodgits" were helpful advantages that teams could earn, including time with the on-set engineer or special parts for use in their build.

Who doesn't love pie?! Well, these teams have the chance to make a whole lot of them – although not quite in a conventional way. They have to build a machine that will fill pie crusts and top them with whipped cream. The machines must fit over a conveyer belt. The team that fills the most pies most fully in 15 minutes wins. Contributor: Thats_Good_Eatin State Pie filling machines is the objective. Both teams get limited ingredients and have requirements for each pie, which are junkyard slick, 1 junkmallow, 1 junky worm for each pie. One team member is the human conveyer belt, while the two others pull them back and forth along the track and the last member operates the machine. Blue Team gets 15 minutes design time while the Red Team gets 20 minutes. Blue Team decides on a design to put all 3 ingredients from 3 funnels into 1 big funnel with release mechanisms to regulate the ingredients, while the Red Team focuses on filling 2 pies at once with the ingredients releasing separately
