Rocket launching

Launching the rockets was lots of fun. The launcher that I build work great or so you can say but it did what it was needed for. The launcher was able to hold its pressure at about 80psi which was great because it made the rockets go a great distance. I had some strings attached to some rods so that we would be able to pull them when the pressure was where we wanted it but after a couple of launched it completely fail and I had to resort to hold it with my hands. Holding with my hands was a great idea at the time up until I got wet from the multiple rockets that were launched but it was worth it. It seemed like everyone was having fun watching some rockets fly and others completely failing. Josh of course won in the achieving the maximum height then Amanda's daughter and I came somewhat close to josh but we didn't beat him. Since we did fairly decent josh announced that he would be buying shirts for the people that came close. The shirt will have the robotics logo along with a sub tittle of projectile specialist. 
The video is a bit messed up but you can somewhat see how high the rockets went.
