As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

Its a game hint! In the top right corner, there is a quarter of a window. A quarter is worth 25 cents. Common sense is something that I lack because I think I can figure out this game hint. 2 years ago the game hint was a fish. A moon fish is a type of fish. Moon fish... Moon... Lunar... Lunacy replay!

Ok, we got the engines to stop which is a good thing. We got them to stop before they ran into the building which is another good thing. Now how do we get them to stop before they knock the railing off the stairs?

Alright, there's a train. And near the train is Dave Lavery. And it's not really a train, it's an old locomotive, a STEAM engine. And STEAM is just a form of WATER. And anything and everything that is posted on CD regarding DAVE LAVERY must be a GAME HINT for next year. So a future year's game will involve water, locomotive, and something to do with FIRST's logo. LOGOMOTION!

This is how the movie, Unstoppable, actually ended.

The train was barred from entering the field, not because it didn't meet sizing or weight requirements, but because it didn't have belay system attachment points!

There once were four guys from Des Plaines
Who never did anything but complain
They tried all different ways
But lost ev'rything they'd play
Because they didn't understand how to 'train'.

Here we see some very high-up FIRST personnel consulting thomas the tank engine, in an attempt to come up with a kindergarten level FIRST program, so that the kids don't reach Jr.FLL unprepared.

[NPOE] In Hebrew thomas's name is way cooler... I was kinda disappointed doing research for this entry. [\NPOE]

How's this LocoMotion game ever going to work? No robot can push a locomotive. I can't even do it. See?

Oh, LogoMotion? Nevermind...

(With apologies to Gilda Radner.)

JVN: "Hmm...Chris can't push the train. Hey, Dave, Brandon! Let's go get the Beatty B.E.A.S.T and see how THAT does!"
Dave (thinking): "How can I make a game hint out of this?"
Brandon: "I can just see this ending up in Billfred's hopper; I better make sure I don't look like I'm involved..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #482
 

Are you sure this is what they meant by FIRST training?

Dave Chanting:

I think I can.
I think I can.
I think I can.
I can!
I can!
I can!
No bloody way.
No bloody way.
No bloody way.
{SIGH}

There once was an engineer named Dave
Who's rovers the people did rave
Steam trains were his passion
But they thought that was old fashion
So to NASA his life he gave

If I can push this train, I should be able to push 25's drivetrain!
