  2. I'd love to be able to supply plans, but the "progressive citizen" preferred to remain anonymous... (perhaps rightfully so). I feel a project such as this is best pursued as an art project, utilizing your own creative impulses to fill in any lack of dimensional data and also perhaps to consider the outcome using another available animal such as a giraffe or flock of turkeys. I look forward to posting images of your completed version.:-)

  3. In this case I suppose it would be 'the goat before the cart' as you would need to size the contraption to the particular goat you acquired, unless that is you are a goat rancher. Being unfamiliar with goat power are there high GP goats available anywhere? You know that guy on top don't look to happy now that I think about it...

  4. I think the concept is a non-starter, goats will not do anything you want them to do. ;-)

  7. Mr. G I believe you should appoint Joao Custodio to do a proof of concept prototype as he is donkeys and shoulders above me. I think he can pull it off:)
