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.

5. Baseball Pitcher

This time, the All-Star Game has a winner! Teams have to build machines to pitch to a major league player. Each team will get 15 balls, each of which has to be hurled toward the plate and counted by the umpire as a pitch. If possible, the player must try to hit it. To do this, the ball will have to pass through a square frame that indicates its accuracy and ability to be called a good strike. Extra points come if the team manages to ""throw"" three good pitches that the player is unable to hit (like, as in Major League Baseball, pitching him out).
