I can help get that organized, but I really haven’t used Bluebrick much at all and could use help with that. Josh Updike (Mac) did that last year, but don’t know that he’s still active in the LUG these days. @jupdyke, if you get this and still have…Read more

The Home and Garden Show in early March is a good next candidate for these, although I would expect it will be more city and less…Read more

Really was a great event and I was happy to help with tear down.

The current layout shows (4) 9v loops, and we currently only have (3) sets of speed regulators/connecting wires/power supplies coming. @jupdyke has some of the LUG’s connecting wires for repairs, but we don’t know where he had a chance to do that yet. Thanks!

I’m really excited to see how this display goes! I know we’ll have to make some adjustments to the bluebrick file to match what we got done Saturday, but I think it will really come together well. Being the first time we’re display with ~100 new MILS sections of…Read more

Another option for the 9v loop on the left (in maroon) would be to make it a double track. If we do that, I think the small circle 9v track on the right could be eliminated.

@timf and I finished one MILS of the double track curves when we were at Josh’s a week or so ago and set the template for the base of…Read more

I am waiting for confirmation from Nicole (our contact at the Science Center) as to whether we will along a wall or out in the middle. If along a wall, we would not need any space in the middle for LUG members as at least one side would be to a wall and that can be cordoned off for LUG members.…Read more

I’m planning to bring the smaller one, retrofitted with Phil’s programmable Boost block and motor that we were playing around with at the meeting. It’s 2 baseplates for space planning purposes.

The larger one takes up almost a full 6 ft. x 30″ table, so I think…Read more

There are some outfits which do Lego brick engraving (which we use for name badges, etc.) but it would be nice to have a more local source.

Also, can the laser cutters cut “soft” materials like foam? I need to cut a logo for one of my buildings (K&L Gates) and I have some blank peel and stick…Read more

I may be consulting your assistance in the future.
