Operation Junkyard (2002)
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.

It's a gusher! Watch out, 'cause these water guns make store-bought super soakers look like little squirts! The teams will design and build mega super soakers to battle the opposing team. The winner will be determined by the amount of measured water the teams use in a 10-minute battle.
It's time to make a mess! The teams have to build a device that can shoot mud-filled balloons. Each team gets 10 mud bombs to shoot at a mud pie. They're are allowed to change machine settings, but not move them. The team landing the most mud bombs wins!
Why walk on water when you can bike? Teams must build a bike that can travel on water. The test for this challenge is a relay race across a pool. The first team to win the relay, on what must be the fastest bike, wins the challenge and moves on to the next round.
