Scrapheap Challenge 2007 header image

Earth Movers

This week's challenge is simple on paper but incredibly difficult when faced with a mountain of mangled scrap and just 10 hours. We went back to basics and asked our teams to build enormous earth movers. Each team was provided with a skip into which they had to load as much or our earth and gravel as possible. This being a semi final it was all to play for and the teams needed their bodging wits about them for this top challenge!
