There's the problem. I'm not the one specifying the
object. I'm just the guy scripting an algorithm which
will take objects and transformations as input, and
compute the speed from that. Crude method, but
works fine so far (doesn't work with objects centered
on the origin and rotating about, the solution to that
is to break it into pieces which get moved around).
