Bottle Rockets (B)

[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

I dont think bottle rockets is an event for div c...? just out and back, protein modeling and microbe mission which got canceled.

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

Oh Sorry. Maybe that's what they call it, my friend up at the High School said he was doing Bottle Rockets. XD

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

are they doing parachutes or are they not allowing them this time?

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

f. Rocket components may separate in flight, but must remain linked together. The maximum extendedlength of the rocket and its components shall not exceed 3 meters.

h. Rockets may use any type of recovery device (including parachutes) that is safe and doesn'tviolate the rules.

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?
