I built a LEGO 4x4 car that can swim!

In August 2025, I accidentally dropped one of my LEGO Technic cars in the sea. The poor thing floated for over 30 minutes until I was able to swim and get it back. You can check out the epic conquest of a semi-sunken ship that led to that accident here : https://youtu.be/gGjyRtAyFA0 We all know that accidents like that can sometimes offer great data, and that was no exception! It immediately dawned on me that the thing that kept that little car afloat was its tires. Once I brought it back to the shore, I realised that only a few drops of water had found their way into each tire. So, if I build a car that is light enough, put as many tires on it as possible, and raise the motors and electronics above the waterline, it could probably swim!
