The standalone kit is up on the Estes web site now, though I have to be amused at the actual URL: https://estesrockets.com/products/new-mini-alpha-starter-set-bundle-copy as well as some of the copy on that page....

This could be fun as long as all the contestants have a strong dedication to safety. Otherwise it seems like a recipe for disaster as rushed people make mistakes...
At the Space Modeling Championships last July in Texas (which I'm sure wasn't at all hot) Estes ran a fun contest for the teams. They had to assemble a rocket and launch it. First one launched wins. The catch - the builder was blindfolded, and another team member read the instructions and guided them, but couldn't touch the rocket until it was finished.
This all started when Estes moved kit production to Communist China.Aerotech has both Quest starter sets - motors included - and oddly named launch sets with no motors. I think Estes uses a similar naming convention for their sets with and without motors.
