We could also do TWO (WOW!) contests EACH meeting maybe, can you stand it? Trains AND spaceships (OOOHHH!) (...) (22 years ago, 23-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

| I propose that the building contest for the next BayLUG meeting be a train car design contest. It should be a free-for-all with no design limitations. We can run all the cars around some track to see what they do, if anything, and then we can vote (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
