INFORMATION
On competition day, participants will launch their rockets across the parade field at The Citadel. Participants will fill their rocket to a water level of their choosing, and place the rocket on the launcher. The rocket will be pressurized to 75 psi and launched. There will be a K-8 grade group as well as a 9-12 grade group and winners will be determined by distance traveled down range in a specified direction. Traveling off course (sideways) can be viewed as wasting your rocket’s potential energy.
