Ooh -- that'd be even cooler! And then how much time would it take for a
monorail car to get from one coast to the other? I don't know how fast the
cars go but the straight track segments are 32 studs long, so...hmm...that
works out to somewhere around 20 million straight-track segments. Give or
take a couple million for going over/around mountains. :)
Now if the monorail cars travel at a velocity of about (this is just an
estimate from memory) 20 studs per second, then it would take about 30
million seconds, or about 1 year.
Hmm, how many changes of batteries is that? ug...
