Vancouver Junkyard Wars 2005 Walking Machine

Each of these walking machines were built from scratch, with junk, by a team of 8-12, in under 48 hours.

Each year since 2002 a group of intrepid inventors has gathered in Vancouver to breathe new life into old junk and compete in a Junkyard War.

Under their wizardry, junkyard scrap has been animated to walk, hurl frisbees, and flip pancakes.

if you put a different kind of shoe on each "leg" does that make it all terrain?

Its interesting. Even limiting themselves to junk, it looks like they have a decent budget, with a shop, tools, and experts for advice. I could do a lot with those resources, I have none

I really like the machines but can't really tell much about them because the editing on this video is really poor .
