Pedal-powered pink tank looks adorable until it pegs you with a hot dog

Vin-Marshall-Pedal-Powered-Panzer.jpg
See something funny? Yeah, that's a 2,000-pound armored vehicle and, yep, it's pink — but laugh at it for too long and you're going to get a hot dog upside the head.

Say hello to Vin Marshall's pedal-powered panzer and its pneumatic cannon. He built it from scratch for $3,000 in 11 days with a few of his friends, and it's powered entirely by human muscle — which is why the tank has to settle for wheels instead of treads. It can easily cruise along at 15 miles per hour, and it's cannon can fire both water and the aforementioned hot dogs.
