Why It's Awesome:
Port-O-Potties, robots, tombstones, sculptures, huge traffic cones, appliances and anything else people can get their hands on, all strapped to explosives and blasted into the air. 'Nuff said.
The Rules:
Oddball rockets only. There must be something visually/structurally strange and different about qualified entries.
The rocket that reaches the lowest altitude (over 100 feet) will be declared the winner.
Rockets must deploy a recovery device and make a safe landing. Smashed or obliterated rockets will be disqualified.
Must be powered by one or more commercially-available, certified motors.
Unmodified recording altimeter required.
Weird Rocket Photos
R2-D2 has never been this cool now that he can fly! See all kinds of strange, totally off-the-wall rockets from LDRS.
More LDRS Rocket Divisions
Drag Race: Up to 16 rockets explode into the air at exactly the same time, using brute force to explode straight up from the ground faster than the rest of the pack.
Experimental Division: The main event. See the most powerful and the most volatile rockets around compete to break the 100,000-foot mark.
Race to 6,000 Feet: Big-time rockets blast off while trying to reach an altitude of 6,000 feet in the last amount of time.
