Twotails Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well, Got the rockets done, simple effects but they should be interesting. Before i go and shoot,(set for tomorrow night) is there a requirement for pre-flight pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well, Got the rockets done, simple effects but they should be interesting. Before i go and shoot,(set for tomorrow night) is there a requirement for pre-flight pictures? I am going to do a walk around, fusing video, lighting and flight video. Do we need stills?

TheSidewinder Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 As far as I'm concerned, no pre-shoot photos are needed. The first entry I got didn't have any, so it wouldn't be fair to expect the rest of you to include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are encouraged to film your rocket in any way that you can imagine; that might gain you points with the named judges in the evaluation categories listed. The first post of this thread contains the evaluation categories and background information on the judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hello, folks. There's been an update. Because of all the crap that happened recently (Site move, Domain change, being offline for a month, and the complete dropoff in site traffic), the entry deadline has been extended to May 20th, and we've set a "minimum entries for prize award". I offered to let the sponsors withdraw the competition completely, since our traffic has gone straight to hell, and that was the only fair thing to do on our part. However, they nicely agreed to just extend the competition and set a "Five Entry Minimum" condition, which I think is rather generous of them. Entry Deadline is now May 20th, 2010, 23:59 GMT. There must be a minimum of five entries before the prize will be awarded. NOW THEN!!! I have only TWO entries! I need a MINIMUM of THREE more! That's a RATHER nice prize they're going to give to some lucky winner, after all, so let's get cracking! Make your video, post it somewhere private so that the judges don't happen to stumble across it on the net, and send me a PM with the link to it. We now have roughly ten weeks until the deadline arrives, and I'll be sending a Bulk Mail to all the members that have been active within the last 6 months or so, to alert them of our move. So, tell your friends, relatives, neighbors, and fellow builders who don't visit us. Anyone is welcome to enter, they just have to be a Member here. And that's free. Whatta deal, eh? Stay tuned!

FREAKYDUTCHMEN Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 NOW THEN!!! I have only TWO entries! I need a MINIMUM of THREE more! I've planned to fire the rocket the 20th, so at least 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I'm still working on it!!! The one from tonight http://www.pyrotube....timed-reports-2 D PS, not an entry, just getting the break down. Edited March 24, 2010 by dagabu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Okay, I got one more entry. I STILL NEED A FEW MORE. Come on folks, let's make this interesting. If you don't enter, you can't win that nifty prize. Some other schmoe will walk away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventsi Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Do girandolas count? If so I'm testing drivers for one at the moment, plus I have a few rockets stashed away for spring break. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Well... no. This is a Rocket Competition. If you want to put a girandola driver on a stick and light it off, feel free to enter that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventsi Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Alright, well are multiple motors acceptable? Meaning two or more rocket motors on one stick with one heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I don't see why not. The judges are the final arbiters of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSidewinder Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The deadline is approaching and I'm still short of entries! Come on, folks, let's get this off the ground (so to speak) and get your rocket videos submitted! 2 short weeks remain until we hit the deadline, and we haven't even gotten the minimum of 5 entries.

dagabu Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I will be firing several rockets this weekend at WPAG. We will see if they CATO or not as I am trying to lift 500 grams with a 1# (3/4") hybrid. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 And I.... will be working, as I do every weekend now. &*$#%^@#* Have fun at the WPAG. Tell everyone I finally got hired fulltime at IPS. Which likely means I won't see the light of day (or any of them) until next year at the rate I'm going now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Weather is looking wet for the shoot, I may not go now if the rain continues on Saturday. The spring shoot for NLP is the 15th, will I still be able to submit if I have to want until then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 It's getting crappier and crappier sounding. Last week it said it'd be warm and sunny. Then I heard periods of rain, and some light rain and clouds on saturday. Now they're calling for a mixture of snow and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadline is the 20th, but if the judging committee wants to extend it a bit more than that I certainly won't object. I'm still short one entry. Need 5, have 4. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised about that. I thought I'd get that many straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasm7 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Im working hard to get an entry to turn in. I bought a metal lathe and built a spindle for my rockets so now all I have to do is make a tube support and test my rockets weight capacity. The hardest part now is finding a weekend I can go to my launch site an hour away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
