T' RL Turner METSA academy at Rockets 09 (see www.igniteeducation.org ). T' METSA team be composed o' 13 sophomores who designed and built their own launch vehicle powered by a Hypertek K240 motor. Ahoy! T' vehicle came in right around 10 feet tall, 4 inches in diameter and 13 pounds. Avast! It was a slightly windy day and t' mornin' was cool so t' nitrous pressure was VERY low. Aye aye! Because o' this t' motor did nay develop its full thrust but it be still an excitin' launch. Ya scallywag! T' rocket contained a wireless video camera on a pod attached t' t' side. Two items conspired against t' students t' make t' video turn out bad: 1. Avast! T' camera was a 2.4Ghz camera and unfortunately t' receiver had t' be placed right next t' a 2.4Ghz wireless router, causin' major interference. Avast, me proud beauty! 2. T' video was bein' recorded on a vintage VCR and VHS tape, me bucko, which be promptly eaten by t' VCR upon replay. Begad! T' onboard video is nay that good because o' this but still nay bad.
