Rebel Rockets-Day 20

We built our final rocket today. Not only this but we finished up the math/graphs and started preparation for our presentation for the SEE Fair. On the downside though, the launch didn't work, we think it's because the fuses are kind of faulty, and we needed another electrical ignition system but we didn't have one. So we have to wait until tomorrow to launch off the final one.

Today, we built our last rocket. We did most of the graphs and math for the project. We also started to prepare for the SEE fair, deciding what to make for it. We decided to do a slideshow of our pictures, and a video montage of all our launches. We then tried to launch, but the conditions for launching were not optimal. Also, the fuses were not working for some reason and we couldn't find any igniters. The final launch will be done tomorrow.

Today was spent building our final rocket. We also began our work on the SEE fair presentation. We decided on making a powerpoint to show everyone what we had done. We would also show our launches. Tomorrow, we will finish the final launch of the project. After this, we will be able to combine our data to find which rocket went the highest.

Today we finished integrating the equations for the predictions. We got a maximum height of around 22 meters, which is very close to what we had in actuality. We then graphed the piecewise function of displacement that was integrated from the velocity. The graph was close to what we generally received from the accelerometer. That concluded one part of our project. We then moved on to creating the final rocket with the shorter fuselage. We will do our final launch tomorrow and conclude another part of the project.
