Bottle Rocket B

[SOCoach]

From what I have seen Michigan will be closer to 40 seconds.

Again, I don't have the rules but 40s? At 60PSI? Just backsliding with no recovery system (chute, streamer etc)? I think that would be a world record.

I think he meant 40s for 2 launches. Depends on the state and timing of states. Late and competitive states will have a better time.

Ok thanks

i am getting around 34s

We placed 2nd at regionals with a combined time of 26 seconds. Winds were strong, and one landed on a roof nearby which lessened the time. Weather factors will always play big in this event if it is not still!

I found the wording of how the times would be scored a bit confusing, but from what I understand, if I launch 2 rockets and both got, for example, eight seconds, my score would be 16 sec. Am I correct or would the score be 8 sec.?

Does anyone know what a competitive time would be for Nationals/what medaling times were for past Nationals?

Yes, your score in this case would be16.

Hello...Does anyone have the top 6 or 10 scores for Bottle Rocket at Nats?
It was a pity that it was really windy in spurts through the morning. It was hard to tell whether the better times were due to wind or not.

Thank you Chalker for your quick reply. Appreciate your willingness to share the scores....I'm sure there are a lot of folks asking.
