The main attraction was a competition inspired by The Reverend Powell Smith's ULV, an Ultimate LEGO Vehicle contest, or in short: ULV.
The ULV-competition got it's own blogg post, see it here.
The ULV took the whole first evening to complete, but since we had so much fun we also met up the next day to do everything else.
Among other things we did another relay-building session like the one Anders Isaksson arranged back i January. The relay-building also got a separate blogg post here.
Of course lot's of other things was done during the weekend and that's what in this post.
Friday night and everything is in the premises.
Some of the official models on display. From left to right: 8851 (alternative model), 8841 (alternative model), 8845 (alternative model), 8853 (alternative model), 8480 and 8457.
The conference room is set up, let the conference start!
All the figures.
Wheels for the ULV-competition.
The SweLUG-logo and a remote controlled Killough.
Price table. 1374 Green Goblin was won by Röde for his achievements in the ULV. 4731 Dobby's Release, the only price left on Sunday won by Harri for his driving of the Killough and feeling when it comes to the 8480 Space Shuttle-launching. 6733 Snap's Cruiser won by Adam for longest drive to get to the meeting (111 km from Västerås).
While waiting for Röde and Adam Tobbe tested if the old wind-up motor still works, which it does!
Harris eyes got big.
Paus in the ULV-comp for pizza.
The logo again.
Tobbe kidnapped a solar panel from one of Rödes eLab-boxes and tried it out on Stampe. The florescent lights was not enough and no sun outside. Holding it up close to a light bulb made the feet move though.
Tobbe built his first Adder/Subtracter, based on the design by Stefano Prosseda.
Röde lab:ing with one of the eLab-boxes.
Harri and Adam building miscellaneous stuff.
Killoughdrivingcontest, hit all the minifigs on yello-blue bases but don't touch the others. Röde won this. Next time the goal was to hit every minifig regardless in shortest time, won by Harri.
Harri drives.
Tobbe, who has built the platform and driven two previous ones, failed miserably. He blames that the controls got reveres so left became right...
To separate Harri and Röde another contest was quickly arranged, launch the 8480 Space Shuttle. The goal was to come as close to the wall as possible, but if the wall was touched the round was lost. Two rounds each. Harri came closest to the wall and thus won the Killough contest.
Adam also wanted to give it a go but launched it so hard that the Shuttle suddenly was beyond repairs... Huston, we have a problem.
Röde moves the Shuttle back with the Killough.
Inspecting the clever drive mechanism on the 8457.
Harri watches the pneumativ engine in motion.
As a thanks for the arranging of the meeting Adam, Harri and Röde surprised with a 4585 Nitro Pulverizer. Thus all four had got a box of LEGO each. Adam was told to build his with out using the instructions, and so to not let him be alone in this task Tobbe gave a go at the 4585 but failed.
The penumatic engine Tobbe built after CSSho's design.
Sunday, 19:47 and the conference room is back in order. A big thanks to Röde and Adam for participating, a thanks to Koneo that let us use the premises and a special thanks to Harri who helped sorting the bricks and transporting them back to Tobbe.
