To all... Lots of GREAT ideas here... I'll start working on them and, hopefully, next year's launch will be SPECTACULAR with all of your help! Here is a pic from this year's launch..

I've been thinking of something like this, too...

Not that I have right now... but I should ask if I can get access to one...

That's a VERY interesting idea.... I'm going to put a lot more on the kids next year, so just adding the rocket transport problem will solve lots of other issues!

I like the foam idea, too.

Kia Sportster, 10+ rockets..., and a little rough handling I'm thinking it's a combination of not the best attachment (students using epoxy for almost the first time)

Medium version: I teach a class for students to build a rocket to take a 1 lb payload 1 mile in the air. We go to the launch on a bus on saturday... but I can't get into the school Saturdays until after the bus leaves... .So I put the rockets in a my car... I try to be careful, but I get 2+...

Put in my order for a mobius. I'll keep trying with the 808's as long as I have a couple of live ones still pretending to work, but important launches (certification, etc) will go on the mobius. Thanks everyone!

Sweet!

That sounds good, that's why I was leaning that way. Thanks!

I've had mixed success using 808 "spy" video cameras for onboard video. Pro 1. Inexpensive, $10-$20 depending on the vendor 2. Acceptable video quality. Not great, but not too bad, either 3. lens location makes it really easy to mount to a rocket 4. Common enough to have lots of 3d printer...

OK, I have to chime in to support Apogee. First, they have a huge amount of info on their website and keep adding to it. Second, I have never had problems with ordering or shipping. Third, for skilled craftspeople who live in the electronics/woodworking world, there may be a point where you can...

I had a SystemsGo team use a chute release in their rocket. The vehicle disintegrated during ascent, and the chute release still worked perfectly... drifted forever and was lost because the only thing the parachute was holding was a part of the avionics bay, but still.... :)

Durability comment: John generously provided my SystemsGo group with a Chute Release and and Altimeter 3. Unfortunately, the rocket disintegrated during ascent (the "research project" was the suitability of 3d printed parts.... preliminary conclusion, some places probably won't work :) ) Even...

Has this been tried with a rubber band as the object being cut? I'm thinking of using this as a dual deploy for smaller rockets..
