Re: Bottle Rocket B
What were key design elements of the winning one?

Re: Bottle Rocket B
More details, please. And a cone as what?

3rd- 10th was not near 22s. We were 3rd with 26. I think 6 was around 24s.fishman100 wrote:I think 3rd-10th place was all 22 second rockets, if memory serves.robotman09 wrote:Winning time was around 28 most of the top ten where between 21-25 seconds.

We got 14th with a ~20 second rocket (maybe a few hundredths less or more).

Re: Bottle Rocket B
Sorry for the double post, but you need to stop asking this. You've asked this 4 or 5 times. You'll probably see some of the top rockets in the best of 2011 photo gallery sometime soon. All the top rockets pretty much looked the same. Either a long cone or a long tube for the nose. Their fins were tilted or the bottoms of the fins were angled for the rocket to spin upon takeoff. They were all built of the lightest materials possible for max height.Cheesy Pie wrote:More details, please. And a cone as what?

Ah okay. I remember reading the "unofficial leaderboard" right after we went, so that may have not been updated...

Re: Bottle Rocket B
They have used one liter bottles before because i remember they are a pain to find so i hope they stick with two literspaleonaps wrote:Two liter seems to be the standard, and it makes the most sense to me. They are the most available.

We usually don't drink soda either; the most we've had (and probably will ever have) is during the bottle rocket construction, where we needed to empty out the bottles. Aw man, I wish I had that bottle of Mountain Dew again
