We're also averaging 3-4 seconds and not going very high. This is easy on the egg. However, I'm wondering if anyone else feels the 1L bottle doesn't have enough umph?

Hey, Im from Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School in NY, was wondering if you had any suggestions with bottle rocket since we have our state tournament coming up in April. Any successful ideas? Also I do scrambler and I know that you guys got 1st at nats last year in it. How's your schools scrambler now just wondering? We use a spring launch system, however we get about 3 secs from .5-8.5m, is there anything else we should try that might work better? Thanks in advance!
