Q: Does the Schraeder valve and associated tubing have to be within the 1m x 1m x 1m cube or can the tubing with valve and pressure gauge extend to the safety box?
A: After the device is measured, the tube can be unrolled and brought to the safety box.
Q: The rules for airjectory state that the competitors may retrieve the rocket as soon as the scoring marker is placed. But does the team need to stay in the safety box as the judges are placing the scoring marker?
A: Teams do not need to be in the safety box while the scoring marker is being placed. As long as a rocket is not pressurized or being pressurized, teams can be outside of the safety boxes.
Q: Is the target distance the same for all competitors?
A: The target distance is picked at random in the morning and remains the same for all competitors throughout the day.
Q: Regarding Rule 2a. "Each team may bring 1 or 2 rockets and a launcher of their own design...." We have a basic launcher from Egg O Naught that we want to modify for Airjectory. Must we build an entirely new launcher from scratch? We will of course just copy the one we already have, but it would be a waste of the money the team already spent on the launcher we just bought for the Regional and State Tournament.
A: Feel free to modify your Egg O Naught launcher.
Q: Can you bring a log sheet and can you use a device to find the distance to the target, like a laser sight or a scope?
A: Log sheets are permitted. Sights are not banned in the rules as written, so they should be allowed to keep things fair.
