Student Builds Miniature Tank for Paintball
Word to the wise: if a mechanical engineer challenges you to a game of oneupsmanship, just fold. Otherwise, you may find yourself going up against the likes of Kettering University student Will Foster. After visiting a local paintball field and seeing players scooting around in their "tanks" — which were little more than dressed up golf carts — Foster got an idea. Why not build a real tank that can fire paintballs?
The fruit of Foster’s labor is a diesel powered half-scale replica of a German Panzer. The miniature is roughly the size of a small car and travel at 20 MPH on a set of real treads. Oh, and that turret on top? Totally works.
