Objectives

• Team 1639 has one more qualification flight possible.
• Team 1641 can do two more qualification flights.
• Given pending bad weather, we want to complete our flights before noon.

Lessons

• Both teams flew one test launch with modest results.
• We had no ignition issues, and all rockets were recovered.
• Team 1639 did their last qualification flight but was still low.
• Team 1641 had a great qualification flight with a score of 6.
• During the second Team 1641 qualification flight, the dowel that connected the two chutes broke in the middle, and the flight was declared a disqualification.

We ended the challenge with insufficient scores to be considered for the national finals, but all teams did complete the challenge and we learned lessons for next year.
