Rocksim

For our rocket at first, we tried to find a sample rocket that had three stages. After looking for a sample one for a while with no progress, we decided to build our own rocket. To create our three stage robot we looked at one of the sample robots to see the components that were needed. We then formed our own robot from scratch using the guidelines of the sample robot. After we had a baseline three stage robot, we alter the ejection and ignition delay meaning the engines fire at different intervals to get the highest rocket we possibly could.

The first rocket went at a bit of an angle because of the delay times for the ignition and engines.

This rocket was our final robot that got to our max altitude (2363 ft). We minimized the launch angle by lowering the ejection delay times for each of the second stage engines.
