RenLUG Royal Rally Racing – Florida’s only LUG-Operated Gravity LEGO® Track!

Hands-on LEGO® STEM fun for builders, students, scouts, and families across Central Florida.

Founded in 2019 by members with prior STEM outreach experience, we introduced the RenLUG Royal Rally Racing track in 2024!

About the Rally Races

RenLUG was founded in 2019 by a team with a strong background in STEM outreach through robotics programs. In 2024, we launched Royal Rally Racing, a gravity-powered LEGO® racing experience that teaches STEM principles, teamwork, and creative problem-solving through hands-on fun.

Key Features:

  • Open to builders of all ages and skill levels
  • Teaches engineering, physics, and design principles
  • Hosted at schools, libraries, museums, scout events, and community programs
