Full Metal Challenge

Influenced by Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge, Full Metal Challenge is a contest in which twenty-seven teams with a budget of $3,000 each build machines with names like Octopush, Mad Monkey and Southern Crusher to compete in a series of games as below:

Ten Pin: Like ten pin bowling but the vehicles take the place of the ball, trying to knock down twelve-foot tall pins over two attempts
Pitball: Basically, it's football played out in a fiery pit with a large metal ball.
Hall of Mirrors: The teams must navigate their vehicle through the titular fairground attraction whilst it constantly changes.
Bumper Cars: This is a bit closer to pinball than normal dodgems as the teams try to hit obstacles as they are lit up pinball-style.
Rollercoaster: The vehicles have to be driven over a rollercoaster course against the clock
Wetropolis: At heart, little more than an obstacle course under two feet of water.
King of the Hill: There are six hills that each team has to get to the top off followed by staying at the top of the central hill.
Grand International: Based on the Grand National course at Aintree, the vehicles have to complete two laps of the course.
Sumo: Each episode ends with a sumo match between the two finalists as each vehicle tries to push or trick the other out of the arena
