Good idea, but it's a virtual contest. Meaning you design the rocket in RockSim and email in the file.
I vote for micromax, though!
How about something like "can you reach 5280 feet with only micromax engines?" You are limited to 15 total engines. Now that would be cool

Kinda confused here...
It is virtual - you replicate the model in Rocksim, make it go to 500', and email the file. The only difference is that you are taking someone else's design and using it to achieve a goal, rather than your design.
We have to do this at NASA all the time - "I want to send a probe to Saturn to do x amount of stuff, but I only have a limited stable of Atlases and Deltas available. How can I do it?" We can modify the payload, but can't mess with the launch vehicles.
Many of the Virtual contests offer bonus points if you actually build and fly the model - for example the "Long Neck" competition.
How about this?
"Attack of the Clones"
Now we're thinking... thanks. BTW - Welcome back... hey, that's interesting that you have an astroid named after you!

Thanks a lot, Punk. Kick a guy when he's not even looking, eh? :kill:How about a contest to launch a giant monkey and a frozen banana? Ooooh... And the smack talking starts even before the contest this time....

I think her husband might have something to say about that.Better watch out Bob... Next thing you know, you're gonna be voted off the island and I'm gonna hook up with the supermodel/rocket scientist...

Hmmm... How about that for an idea? Survivor VRC? Out sim, out build, out fly?
Multi-round events with only the top finishers in each round going on to the next... Possibly without knowing what the next round even is? With a short time frame to revise their rocket for the next round? With the final round involving actually building and flying the rocket?
Not that I really need one more thing on my plate right now... But how's the VRC coming? Any ETA yet?
