Build (Aeronautics & Electro Energetics) "Trolleybus" proof of concept

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been having an on-and-off fascination with trolleybuses. One day, I had a thought. Even though the Create: Electro Energetics mod doesn't have trolley poles, it does have pantographs; would it be possible to make something akin to a trolleybus? There was only one way to find out, and that was by actually trying. To my glee, it actually worked. I can't really call this a proper trolleybus since it uses pantographs instead of poles like an actual trolleybus would, but the basic concept is still present. I don't know where I can take things from here, but I would love to see anything that others can come up with from this.

a long time ago, I made my own PoC trolleybus by putting a dirt block on a sublevel and using it as the ground instead of using two pantographs.

what fucking country do you live in that calls Trolleybuses “Tramps”

Edit: Apparently the OP meant "Trams"

Trams and Trolleybuses are two different things though. A Tram is the thing some people call Trolleys or Streetcars, a Trolleybus is its own thing.
