NPL Water Rockets Competition
Well done to Chris, Kieran, Mimi and Will from Claws for their excellent performance at this year’s NPL Water Rocket Competition.
The team’s excellent design and build work resulted in a rocket that flew straight and true and got the Scout firing the launcher only a little wet on take off, well alright soaked! We hit the first zone with our first and third flights and a bullseye with the second one giving flight times of 17, 33 and 18 seconds. Full results and pictures will appear on the NPL website in due course.
The launcher after some years sterling service is now pretty much defunct and a hard time was had getting it through scrutineering this time. Ideally we’d like to take this to summer camp as an activity, so is there a parent out there who could build us a more robust replacement? Full instructions are available from a link on the above website so little or no design work would be needed and if it can’t be built for camp, having one (preferably two so both troops can compete) ready for next years event would be fantastic. Please talk to any of the leaders.
