I saw that newscast. That man is amazing. I can't wait to see what he does next. He built that tank using photos only which he accumulated -- nothing more! It's seems to be about the same size as a 4-person golf cart so I see no reason why he can't drive it the same places golf courts go. The "projectile" you mention was a rolled up T-shirt, so there isn't anything scary about that. If I saw it approaching me on the street, the only thing I could say or think would be "WOW!"
