Rocket Nose??

Post by jinseopark »

Hello! So, my partner and I are having difficulties with our build, because the rules refer to this "rocket nose" but we have no idea what that is. Is it a separate thing? Is it a an me for part of the bottle? What is it?

Also, what would we use this theoretical nose for?

This is our first year doing Ping Pong Parachute, so the help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!!

The nose of the rocket is basically the very front. The rules state that the front must be blunt, so if you put a bottle cap on different areas of the front, no part of your rocket contacts the inside top of the cap.

Someone prob already asked this but does the tube design have to satisfy the nose cone being blunt rule?
If so how do we make it to fit the rule?

thx

In my opinion as long as the bottle cap can rest on the tube it is fine. I do planning on submitting an FAQ if you want to submit one as well because I've heard of people getting tiered for using a tube design in some places even though it's perfectly fine for other places and technically fits the rules.

Oh ok, I was confused for a second about the rules, but you cleared by doubt.

thx,
