I get grumpy staying up all night working on your danged prototypes. The thrust just ISN'T THERE! Stop trying to force it, we're not ready.

WOW! Talk about a pair of hints!

Lets see: "Thrust isn't there", No force, not ready, shelter, "rear in gear" and my favorite "Viking Death Ship".

VDS from Viking Death Ship, could this stand for Variably Delayed Start,Visibility Degradation System or Video Display System (that goes back to my last post, read it and see) or..........

"Thrust isn't there", No force, not ready, shelter. Sheltered areas on the field that protect you from something. Might that be wind, rain (there's that water theme again), electrical interference.

Putting the two together: Robot control performed or enhanced by Video Feed. Certain areas on the field will either have the signal blocked or visually impaired to prevent seeing where the robot actually is forcing the drivers to have to guess or switch to autonomous (this could play into the "Fox in the Hen-house" hint).

Just my two cents in the early morning (well, early for me at least).
