Scrapheap Challenge 2008 header image

Decoration Dash


Decoration Dash

In this week's challenge, two teams compete to build a mobile painting machine capable of decorating a house from a distance.

The teams' mechanical decorating devices will need to slap a coat six metres high by seven metres wide on the scrapheap chalet. Accuracy is paramount as they'll be penalised for any paint that strays over windows or doors.

And if that wasn't enough, they have to complete the whole job from the other side of a picket fence, four metres from the chalet wall.

The teams are the high-tech hotshot Cyborgs from Bognor Regis and the Crash Bang Clan, a family of stock car racers from Edinburgh.
