Footnotes

↑ Spectacular failure of Chaos Crew's hydraulics.
↑ First recorded dragster race in reverse.
↑ The Martial Mechanics, Archimedes Screw design, worked perfectly on both their 1st and 2nd runs, up until the last 10-20m and then both times, veered to the left due to a broken drive shaft on one side, and hit a small concrete object.
↑ The most spectacular failure of a machine so far – the Barley Pickers' trebuchet jammed and completely destroyed itself.
↑ Hot Property's tank never worked.
↑ The Anoraks avoided the 'no four-wheel-drive' rule by instead building a six-wheel-drive machine.
↑ Famous for the accidental firing of their device, by a Scrapheap Challenge Official.
↑ The Thirsty Knights rescued their expert from the island, but upon reaching the lake banks, accidentally set him adrift on their craft.
↑ Scrapheap Mega Challenge. Celebrating 200 years since the Pen-y-Darren steam loco of Richard Trevithick.
The 3 teams had to build locomotives (1 diesel, 1 electric and 1 steam) and have them do a timed haulage and sprint test over a 1/4 mile course.
The steam locomotive matched the electric in round 1 (haulage) before beating it in 2.
