Hello TRF!
This is the official thread for the TRF Build of the Quarter! These will continue as long as we have interest.
Da rules of the contest:
1. The "quarter" runs from now until midnight on March 31.
2. All corners of the rocket must be angled.
-This includes body tube, nose cone, and fins.
-Excluded are any inner workings of the rocket.
-In other words, the body tube and nose cone must be a square, triangle, or some other sort of polygon. (Attempting to call a circle a polygon with an infinite number of sides will not slide well with me. Nice try.)
-Rockets are permitted to have rounded fillets and fin edges. The challenge is intended to get competitors to think outside of the normal tube shaped rocket.
3. All rocket sizes are permitted, as well as all motor sizes.
4. To enter the challenge, simply post in this thread, and start building! Build threads are encouraged, but not required.
5. Launch the rocket! A launch must include a safe recovery.
6. Starting March 24, please submit a video of their rocket in this thread. This should include at minimum a picture of the rocket and a video of a successful launch. Of course, if you have a failed launch, don't be afraid to submit your video! It'll make the rest of us feel better, and we won't laugh at you (too much).
7. Competitors may submit their videos up until March 31, 23:59:59EST, at which point no further submissions will be accepted. All submissions will be placed into a poll which will be open to all forum members. This poll will run for 1 week. The scoring will be described in the poll when it is put up (the jist of it being that everyone gets 3 votes . The rocket with the highest score will be declared the winner.
8. The above rules are intended to be followed by the spirit, and not the letter. That being said, any issues with the rules will be decided between the judges.
Furthermore, if you're interested in donating a prize for the winner, please feel free to message either blackbrandt or I.
If you have any questions in general, please leave them in this thread or message one of us.
Can't wait to see all of your exciting designs!
