The Beach Boys are going for simplicity in a battering ram. A heavy pole, mounted on chains will be swung back and forth. The trick will be getting the ram to hit the wall at the bottom of the swing, providing the maximum amount of force. You also have to consider where to hit the wall. Hit it at the top, where it's the weakest but you get the least amount of swing or hit it at the bottom with the most swing but the strongest brickwork.
The Chaos Crew have their work cut out for them in building a hydraulic "muncher". Remember hydraulics from last series final? To quickly recap, a piston is in a sealed tube that is moved back and forth by hydraulic (fluid) pressure at either end of the tube. They'll need rams, a pump, strong support members and luck. We all know how well complicated machines work, right?
