A Blimp or hot air ballon

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

u should have them build a blimp or hot air ballon. or a 3 man submerisable submarine. a snow mobile and i think u should let younger people on the show. i am 17 and all i do is day dream about stuff i should build. or even a catapult, a tank, an amphibious vehicle, dune buggy's, or even jet skies.

please consider conor

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.

It was a British episode, Mothers of Invention vs. Three Revs a Minute. The challenge was to build an aircraft to bomb a target. The Mothers of Invention with their blimp won.

While it is true that there was a helium balloon on the show (it was one of the poorer episodes) why not have a hot air balloon that lifts at least one of the team. Either that, or have the teams build huge Japanese style fighting kites. Now that would be fun. Talk about your junkyard wars....
