How to make ping pong deploy consitently?
I've been having trouble making the parachute come out consistently from the rocket. Currently it's completely luck based. I tried several things, like making a hole in one side of the rocket and coating the rocket with glossy stuff to make it have less friction, but it's still completely luck based. I'd appreciate any help.
