Seems every inventor in the world had a go at it at some time, there was a tv prog about one attempting to cross the Bering Staits with one a few years ago.

 

Didn't know this about the Weazel

 

Alas, Pyke’s concept of a very small, very fast, attack machine got (ahem) shot down and his idea was eventually whittled down to the very-rarely known Weasel. Unfortunately, the Weasel was whittled down even more and the screw propulsion was dropped in favor of standard caterpillar tracks.
