Ben's friend The Longhorn Engineer challenges him to build an automatic, domestic can crusher. Ben also starts building the case for the Xbox 360 laptop.
The Longhorn Engineer visits Ben and they start construction of a giant solenoid to try and crush cans with. Circuits break and the air is filled with acrid smoke as they toil on a design...
Ben travels to a shop to rout the case for the Xbox 360, then forces the still-visiting Longhorn Engineer to help him sand and polish the pieces.
With help from his friend Jason Jones, Ben tries using a stepper motor with gearing to crush the can. Seeing that it works, but pressed for time, they brainstorm a way to finish building the device in the future.
