History

A tank called Bob... As war drew closer, New Zealand realized it may need to defend itself & so set too work at designing its own tank. Using the limited materials that where available they came up with a armored structure that could be quickly bolted onto an agricultural tractor. What seamed like a good idea at the time tho failed miserably, the tractors where only just able to carry the extra weight and the excessive noise/vibration made operating it difficult at best.
