Read the clarifications on the nationals site, I would put a ping pong ball on it just to be safeCheerwine wrote:How seriously do they take the pointed nosecone rule? I don't think my pointed nosecone is sharp enough to hurt anyone, but I don't want to get dq'ed either.

Re: Egg-O-Naut C
at the IL state competition, i had a rolled nosecone made from plastic, and it was pointed, though not extremely so, but the directors did not say anything about it. As long as you avoid metal tips, i don't think there will be an issue.

Re: Egg-O-Naut C
Hi, I was just wondering what times people were getting this year for rockets? I seem to be getting only around 30-40 seconds average.

Re: Egg-O-Naut C
My schools regional time was 42seconds without the bonus [cold and rainy day too]. Then weather was very favorable for a select group of teams got some really good currents going at State. My school got 8th at State with a time of 2 minutes of flight time and went 1/4 of a mile away from launch zone the winner went much farther than that even, for Nat's depending on the weather I bet you can bet to see some multi minute times because of favorable air/wind conditions

Re: Egg-O-Naut C
At our state the best time was 5 minutes, so I predict the best at nationals should be between 3 to 5 minutes
