The dam's gonna blow....

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

Each team has to build a dam across a small canyon. I mean small. like 20 feet across with 10 ft. tall sides. Then a water tanker truck is pulled up and drops it's whole load of water to see if the dam can hold?

This challenge would be good if the teams have to use metal, pipe,wood, ect from the yard, and aren't allowed to make earth dams. It would involve having the pit at the yard though, so that the teams could get the materials to the site, and have welding/cutting equipment, and that may be a problem.

Can you tell me where I can get some Dam wood, or some Dam metal?
