Sven and his Goat - Scaled Up!

There isn't much for a kid to do on a medieval farm aside from chores, So Sven and his friend Leif decided to have race using their favorite farm animals, just like ancient Romans they'd heard about in the old stories! Who will win, Sven and his Goat or Leif and his pig?

 

This is my and Cecilie's entry for the collaborative category of Brickscalibur - The Crazy Goat-Cart Race'! We took the overall title for the category rather literally, but took the 'crazy' part to heart and chose to scale our figures up to match the 'Scaled-Up' figures put out by LEGO.

 

But we didn't stop there! In my seemingly idiotic goal to motorize nearly every build I do these days, the carts are driveable (see below)! Cecilie and I worked together to design a wheel and I worked on a simple two-motor setup that drives using tank steering.

 

A big thank you to Cecilie for going along with my insane idea,

please be sure to check out her companion build! And if you're at Brickworld Chicago in June we intend to race them in real life!
