More inventions come into play - with a little bit more sophistication. These prototypes are the products of the future. Tune in to find out the clever solutions that lie ahead.

The team's first project is a car that can cut back on its power if the driver experiences road rage. This prototype will be tested in a demolition derby.

The inventors have two weeks to create two giant robot boxers that are controlled by the movements of two people shadow-boxing.

The team of inventors takes-on the future of thrill rides by attempting to build a waterslide simulator that lasts three times as long as an amusement park waterslide while also combining all the twists, drops and turns of several slides into one simulator. The prototype grows to three stories tall with almost five tons worth of materials. Can the guys complete this engineering feat in only two weeks?

After attempting to climb through several different terrains in a regular ATV (quad-bike), the inventors realise that the wheels are not sturdy enough and cannot negotiate the many obstacles they come across in the wilderness. They must redesign the legs so they can withstand the weight of the aluminium chassis as well as the driver of the machine. After hours of gruelling tests of different materials, there is only one material that can support the weight while still allowing the vehicle to 'walk' over any surface.
