A typical episode features the five main cast members and possibly the addition of an expert in the field related to the particular challenge of that show. The challenges are varied, usually involving constructing a machine to achieve a particular objective. Examples of challenges include making a mechanical "ironman" suit, a submarine, a spy satellite, and a machine to fling a frozen watermelon to simulate an asteroid collision with the southern United States.
