Dyson, the makers of vacuum cleaners, hand dryers, blade-less fans and heaters recently challenged their top engineering talent to create and race RC cars against each others. The engineers were divided into teams and the engineering brief was simple - create a full functional RC car out of Dyson balls and spare parts in the lab in 3 weeks. The cars were then raced at company's R&D facility in Wiltshire.

The winning team of this 'scrapheap challenge' was 'Drives'. The race track wasn't simple, of course but the bot by the drives made it to the final destination. Machine lovers shouldn't miss the following video -
