Who would have ever thought garbage could ever be so useful?

In Junkyard Wars, you’re going to have to bring out the beauty in the beast. This is the closest you could possibly get to actually performing magic. The first stage of the event is an elimination round. Those who make it through to the finals will have to construct a working model from their pile o’trash and send their opponents back to the scrapheap, as they take ‘em on head-to-head.
