I think it has a lot of potential to become an actual event; it's a great event and pretty easy to run, and teams would do pretty well.vehicleguy wrote:Does anyone think this will ever become an event? I'm going to high school in a few years, and I'm excited to have the possibility to do bottle rocket again (I did it for 3 years straight already).

Re: Indoor Bottle Rocket B/C [TRIAL]
When you test your rocket, if it goes to high, try adding things that might cause drag to try to make the rocket go lower. The key is to test it over and over again.antmatts wrote:Hey guys! I'm new to indoor bottle rockets, can anyone give me some tips on controlling the height of the rocket? Thanks!

Re: Indoor Bottle Rocket B/C [TRIAL]
There are a lot of parachute calculators on line (here and here). The average weight of a pung-pong ball is about 2.7 grams. You can find the circumference of the parachute you need. You can also play around with the circumference on the second site. Note that the numbers are theoretical. As for the rocket, just take a bottle, put some fins on, and add a cone.teaguehenage7 wrote:Were having a hard time on ping pong parachute can someone give us some advice on parachute and rocket

Re: Indoor Bottle Rocket B/C [TRIAL]
Our cone is a plastic cup with the bottom cut off, so if you put the ball inside the cone and put you parachute around the cup, it shouldn't fall out upon launching it.antmatts wrote:How did you guys put your ball+parachute on/in the rocket in a way that it opens up and doesn't fall off? Thanks!
