I need to know the speeds of objects

I need to know the speeds of some objects in tiles per minute for this level I want to make. Especially a steel box on a conveyor, UFOs, fireballs, Stinky, and stinky sliding on ice.

Haven't got the times on hand but one way you could do it would be to set up a new level say 6 wide by 100 long & set up a long conveyor belt, strip of ice, your cannon, ufo, stinky - probably not all at the same time (or alternatively make it wider & put up a wall between each experiment).
Just time how long it takes for each to reach the end. eg if your stretch is 90 tiles long, tiles per minute would be 60/(time in seconds) x 90.
That should give you a more accurate time though you'll have to allow extra time for corners (2x for conveyor belts, don't know if it makes any difference for ice).

These are the items "relative" speeds, i.e. relative to Stinky's normal speed (which is "1")
Stinky/etc: 1
Stinky/etc on ice: 2
Fireball: 2
Coily: 0.5
Zbots: 1.5
Rainbow Spirits: 1.5
Kaboom: 2/3 (0.6666..)
Saucer: 0.5
Chomper: 0.5
Ghost: 0.5
Broken ZBot: 1

Is that coily speed EXACT or AVERAGE?
