Scrapheap Challenge

Inspired by Brunel's paddle steamers, which were the first boats to regularly cross the Atlantic with cargo and passengers, teams from both sides of the pond are given two days to build paddle boats capable of crossing the freshwater `Scrapheap' Atlantic. It's a battle of steam versus diesel, but who'll follow in the footsteps of the great man himself?
