Overview
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.

Cannon
A real blast! Kids love to knock things down, which makes this a slammin' game. Teams have to build a cannon powerful enough to knock a junkyard dog from a foam brick wall. No explosives are allowed, so springs, rubber bands and ingenuity must win the game. The teams were The Junkyard Jugglers(Blue Team) and The Renegade Recyclers(Red Team). The winners of this challenge were The Blue Team.
