RE: Amphibious Tank
I bet that if you could successfully water-proof a tank's electronics (which has been done by forum members) and add lots of Styrofoam to the inside of your tank (one with a plastic hull - Hen Long), you could make a tank that would go from land to water without a problem. Adding some sort of tough material to the tracks (maybe every fifth link) to act as paddles, and you would probably get some forward propulsion.
