		Scrapheap Challenge is an inspired piece of television.
		Eventually it was the most nerve-racking decider, all the more remarkable for the fact that they were possibly the slowest machines ever seen on the programme.
		This series had been a knockout challenge, giving us the opportunity to meet many more teams, without losing the opportunity to root for one side or the other.

		The challenge is for two teams to build machines, in 10 hours, out of junk (scavenged from a purpose-built scrap yard).
		In the first challenge of the series, the teams had to build demolition machines, which were then raced to demolish part of a disused power station which had been built to withstand blast forces.
		As ever, Scrapheap Challenge does the science and engineering extremely well; one of the real strengths of the programme.

	SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE HISTORY HOSTED BY ROBERT LLEWELYN AND LISA ROGERS \| SCRAP YARD, JUNK WARS, RECYCLING.
		Scrapheap Challenge is known as Junkyard Wars in the United States.
		The US version of the Scrapheap formula relies on loud soap box style commentary and visual effects to pander to teenagers on speed, in " The A Team" genre, rather than youngsters (and oldies) interested in learning what is possible with a bit of imagination, what works and what doesn't.
		In 2004, a series of the US programme was broadcast on Channel 4 under the title Scrapheap Challenge USA, but only the title sequence was changed and the rest of the programme, including logos and verbal references to "Junkyard Wars" remained intact.

		Participants were paired up (changing who they paired with for each challenge), given challenges to implement (using any technology they want - including using anything they can find on the scrapheap that we call the internet).

	Guardian \| Scrapheap Challenge Afghan-style
		Not having television, the Afghans are unlikely to have seen the Channel 4 game show Scrapheap Challenge, in which two teams compete to build machines from the junk in a scrapyard.
		Both sides have to build something from the acres of corroded chassis and turrets and gun barrels and tracks and cylinder blocks and fuselages, cold war litter, marring their landscape.
		The thing about this Scrapheap Challenge, the preparation for an attack on the Taliban north of Kabul, is that it is not a good game to play.

		Now you may not have realised this, but "Scrapheap Challenge" is actually filmed in a real life scrapyard, albeit with some specially built props and sets, and located well away from the daily cut and thrust of business.
		Very little fakery goes into the making of Scrapheap Challenge, but the production crew will try to make sure that suitable bits can be found to build the design without resorting to obvious plants.
		Such items as running donor mopeds, for instance, are carefully identified in the scrapheap so the teams will not spend all their build time looking vainly for a non existent power source.

	OrionRobots : Scrapheap Challenge
		It consists of two or more teams being led to a scrapyard with a goal to salvage what they can to build machines and take them through a challenge.
		They were often given an expert in the device to aid them, and then it was down to them to retreive parts from the heap, and put them together to make the spectacular machines.
		As well as being inspirational, and highly entertaining, they also do small insets on the function/physics of the machines - and so there was a distinct eductaional note to the series as well.

		On each day, teams will be given a challenge that is specific to an area of computing (for example, mobile computing).
		At the end of the first two challenges, the scores will be tallied and then the top two teams will battle it out in the Grande Finale (Sept. 16th), with the winners receiving the coveted Scrapheap Challenge Cup, a champagne celebration and other prizes, not to mention the respect of the computing community.

	Scrapheap Challenge - UKGameshows
		Evidently a lot of people missed this gem first time round, so Channel 4 changed the title from Scrapheap to Scrapheap Challenge for series 2 as if to say "Hey, it may be Sunday afternoon but not everyone's showing repeats of 1940s fl and white films.
		In fact, although they never made a big deal of it on screen, the Scrapheap itself was usually a different one in each series anyway.
		Five teams have to build road-worthy vehicles capable of being adapted to take on various challenges, and having created their clever vehicles (on their own time), they travel around the country and have eight hours on a local scrapheap to prepare for each challenge.

		Jim said: “I have always wanted to have a go at Scrapheap and like most armchair experts out there I was continually saying how bad the teams were doing and their designs weren’t up to it.
		Scrapheap Challenge featured the Services clash in yesterday’s first programme of the series, with The Destroyers proving more than a match for The Squadron in building a roadworthy buggy out of the scrap lying round a car breaker’s yard.
		It was an ideal challenge for the team – Adrian said he built his first Land Rover at 15 and built rally cars for competitions, while Jim started with free-wheeling go-karts at the age of seven and at university built a two-man hovercraft using a motorbike engine.

	Mistaeks I Hav Made: Scrapheap Challenge at OOPSLA 2005
		Participants were given three 90 minute challenges in each of which they they had to work in pairs to write a program to perform some non-trivial task.
		The tasks were too large to write from scratch in the time available, so pairs had to solve the challenges by integrating useful software that they could find on the internet.
		But the solutions to two out of the three challenges used Unix (or Cygwin) pipelines to compose existing components and used Python to write small filters to provide functionality not met by existing components.

		Each challenge will be small enough that a good solution can be written in less than an hour, but complex enough that participants will not be able to write everything from scratch.

	"Scrapheap" (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pitting two teams against each other in a contest of both brains and brawn to produce a complex working machine in 10 hours using only what they can find in the eponymous Scrapheap ("Junkyard" for you Americans) is just plain brilliant.
		To make it possible to build the machines, the teams must be able to grasp the basic operational principles behind each one.
		For some of the projects, I suspect that the scrapheap is "seeded" with some specialist items without which successful construction would be virtually impossible.
