The team tries to develop two flying-lifeguard systems to protect swimmers on unguarded beaches. The team attempts to invent a telepresence deep sea diving experience. The team attempts to invent a wearable airbag to protect construction workers in case they fall from high-rises. The team attempts to build an automated pizza delivery robot and automated pizza delivery car (see: driverless car), but only after scary attempts with massive blimps. Initial attempts to automate things like shaving and eating turn out to be either scary or messy, but some surprising breakthroughs pave the way for a triumphant public demonstration. The team of engineers attempts to invent a space-age sleeping pod that gets you up, fed, showered, groomed, dressed, informed and out the door in a matter of minutes. The second challenge the team faced was to design an ergonomical "PyroPack" that would give our flamebustin' heroes the chance to save even more lives. One of their challenges was to build a "Stairbot" to carry the equipment, and then convert into a rescue seat. As they learned, hauling the heavy fire equipment up flights of stairs leaves firefighters tired, and with less oxygen in their tank. The team tries to revolutionize firefighting equipment. No water theme park is complete without a long run on a water slide, but what do you do when you don’t have the room in your backyard? Let the laws of physics give you a ride! In what may be their most massive build, the team puts together an amazing, fun-filled “slide-in-a-ring” and then turns on the hose for some aquatic fun. Inspired by the “legs” of an innovative robot called RHex, the prototypers decide to use this basic design with its synchronized alternating tripod gait and build it BIG! What first appears as a simple upscaling project becomes a real challenge when the team discovers that size can change everything. The key to this build is a set of amazing wheels that can move in all directions without actually turning. And as an added bonus, the lift allows the vehicle to find parking like nothing else on wheels. The boys take on the challenge of building a car that will beat traffic by rising up - and driving over it. And then it’s into the boxing ring for a metallic monster slugfest! Joe and Zoz utilize a technology called optical glyph tracking to allow the robots to register and mimic their human counterparts’ boxing movements, while Mike is charged with dressing the metallic skeletons and Terry with building the metal beasts themselves. The prototype team looks into the future of gaming - and giant, boxing robots are what they see. Joe and Zoz will use cutting edge biofeedback and mind control technologies as the brains of the prototypes while Terry and Mike retrofit the test cars for an extreme test to prove the concept: a demolition derby where road rage is inevitable. Our team of inventors attempts to prototype a car that utilizes biofeedback sensors to restrict a car's performance as its driver’s agitation level increases. Many parts of the TechShop facilities were used in the show pilot, including the main workshop, welding shop, and laser cutter room.

Three sets were constructed in TechShop's large conference room, and the machine shop and sheet metal shop were painted in color schemes that would look good on camera.

The pilot episode for the series was shot at TechShop in Menlo Park in December 2006.

Īlthough this show shares producers ( Beyond Productions) and location (San Francisco Bay Area, California) with the TV series MythBusters, it is entirely distinct.
