Wow, now that's scary!

Train4: "The Return of ProjectX"
Given 8 trains and 16 train modules build a robot that can assemble randomly
scattered trains into an X shape pattern! Bonus points will be awarded for
knocking over JeffVW's R2D2 trash cans. Probably the hardest part will be
placing a train into the tunnel 'cell', especially if its Derek's :))

What's the average train length that people would be content for "Siding
lengths"? I'm working on a very advantageous project, and I kind of need • to
know ASAP (in track sections).

IE, if I made a siding that is 6 track sections long, will that • accomdiate
a
majority of people? It could be possible to divide a train in two but • that's
not exactly desirable I guess.

I just put 6 sections together and that's not very long. CRAP. This is • gonna
be hard.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Never mind, I realized I don't have anywhere near enough LEGO to build • this,
and then I got bored.

I could do the queue and gantry track robot areas no problem, but building
the storage matrix is well beyond my resources.
