Bottle Rockets (B)

Post by Over9000 »

An "Exploratory" Event at Nationals '09....

Does anybody have any plans for this one? I'm just kind of doing the classic design with a Parachute.

I'm in Division B by the way, so the rules are a lot more lax. And less specific. XD

If you want ideas you'll probably find most of the info you need on the Egg-O-Naut thread and the Bottle Rockets Wiki

Makes sense since there's egg-o-naut in C

Dunno what's going on, but it is an event for Div B. They are using the 2006 rules.

Looks like anything that doesn't exceed 3 meters when combined with the rest of the rocket is fine for a recovery system.

would you be allowed to add stuff to your rocket if it didn't make the weight requirements? just like, put something inside the fuselage or something?
