Ideas for Junk Yard wars spinnoffs

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

My Grandfather use to visit the Junk Yard on a weekly baises and bring home many treasures.However he turned his into art. How about a Junk yard Special Called....Junk Yard Art. Have to scavage the yard and make something out of nothing. Since it won't be war....and there is no challenge to build a specific thing, just see what peoples imagination can come up with. And of course give them less time. 10 hours would be a tad much.

I think the Art Attacks have already cornered the market. With the 10 time limit no less.

I think they should have a demolition derby

I want you to make like a robot to be remote control and fight.

Enough with the fighting robots already.

I think they should build guns,catapolts,tanks ect.and use their weapons to shoot paintball or waterballoons with the dye of their color.After they build it they go and hide in the junk yard and use it as a battle ground and the first team to hit all members or the other team wins or if they just built one weapon they have to get hit four times.They could use spings and stuff to build their weapons;well anyway you get what I'm getting at.

So much for pinning our hopes for World Peace on the younger generation. Maybe they should build bomb shelters instead.

I think they should kepp doing what they are doing.

I THINK THE ART IDEA WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU BILD A 1 PERSON SUBMARINE.

I've watched in amazement, mostly because changing a lightbulb is a major repair for me...however a spin off (as opposed to simply another challenge) would be to use different material...for example, using garbage, or plastics waiting to be recycled or maybe use the 'throw away' from a restaurant and call it junk-chef wars.

Another spinoff idea would be to use teens/kids and give them limited challenges and see what their imagination does. For example, the 'timer' they use to start things off and keep track of the hours elapsed is a perfect kind of challenge. Did you ever see the game, "Those Incredible Machines"....like that, ala Rube Goldberg.
