Pictures from Practice

Here's some pictures we've taken over the past few weeks showing Tachyon III in action (although these pictures are from practice, not the actual competition).  

Look at that pitch!!!

Run 2 highlights

Here's the best of our second run on Saturday (final score was 250/300).

Success!

The Florida Regional competition was held today at the YMCA Aquatic & Family Center, and Tachyon III placed first, with a best mission score of 250!  Pictures and video will be uploaded soon.  
We'll be moving on to internationals, which will be held in the same location in two months' time.  
Congratulations to the entire team, and thank you to all our sponsors!

Rice Nozzles

 A few months ago, we designed some nozzles based on the Rice profile to mazimize the thrust produced by our thrusters.  We finally got those nozzles printed (courtesy of Nikolai at the University of Alabama), and, although we haven't done any quantitative tests of them yet, they seem to have given Tachyon III a significant boost in power and performance.
