Scrapwood Basketball: Contestants have 60 seconds to sink as many scrap pieces into a trashcan as possible. Screw It!: Contestants compete to screw a 1 5/8” screw into a 2×4 using only a handheld screwdriver. Half Ass: Contestants try to cut a piece of clay perfectly in half. Tape Measure Fishing: Contestants compete to pull objects across a table using only a tape measure. Mini Battle Bots: Contestants battle head-to-head to pop each other’s balloons.
