This meeting was also at the same venue as the JanuARTy event, which meant that we were able to see and appreciate larger and more impressive builds than at our typical meetings. Really great builds from our ULUG members!

Presentation

The presentation focused on some of the problems with standard LEGO train hubs and Bluetooth controls, like losing connection at a large event, or needing the train to run while also needing your phone. One possible solution was demonstrated – hacking the LEGO hub with Pybricks to allow for automatic and intelligent running of the train.

The trolley in the demonstration was programmed to automatically run on its own, and use a color sensor to read colored tiles on the track to automatically stop and change direction.

December 2025

There were 114 people in attendance, including 40 guests. There was a potluck meal with three dozen entrees, sides, and desserts – plenty of food for all!

The highlight of the event is the annual Dirty Brickster gift exchange, modeled after a traditional white elephant game. Each of the 99 participants – including members, guests, and children each brought a LEGO-related gift with a value of around $20-$40. Each person could choose to open a new gift from the pile or steal, and there were a few highly sought-after items. Notable thefts included 3D printed big parts, One Piece ships, Minecraft, Classic Space babies, Friends holiday adventures, and various gifts with purchases from the year.

There was also a brick-built gingerbread house contest with 15 entries. Here is the winner, by ULUG member Evan A.
