Team America Rocketry Challenge for 2007/2008
 
GOAL
- Design, build and fly a single-stage rocket capable of lofting two raw chicken’s eggs to 750 feet and keep it aloft for 45 seconds.
- Altitude is determined by a barometric altimeter available from the TARC official vendor, www.perfectflite.com
- Timing is from first motion of rocket to the time the section containing the eggs lands (booster & payload can recover separately).
- Score will be the sum of the altitude differences: (750 feet - actual altitude) + two times the time difference (45 sec. - actual time X 2). Differences are absolute. For instance, altitudes of 730 feet and 770 feet are both 20 feet from the target altitude and yield the same score. Lowest score wins.
RULES
- After flight, any damage, cracks or seepage detected in the eggs will disqualify the flight.
- Two qualifying flights are allowed; only one is required. There is no limit to the number of pre-qualification flights.
- Qualifying flights do not need to take place at an organized NAR launch. They must be flown in accordance with NAR safety rules.
- Qualifying flights must be observed by a NAR senior member. The observer does not need to be a TARC mentor.
- The top 100 qualifying teams will be invited to compete for a prize fund of $60,000 in the National Finals at The Plains, VA (Washington, D.C. area).
- Any rocket flown at the National Finals must have already been flown successfully.
