Welcome to the University of Florida Hybrid Rocket Team!

Apogee ~ 2038ft!

Official Competition Results Message:

Congratulations to all the teams that competed last Saturday.  I know some teams had problems with their equipment and were not able to do as well as hoped.  However, FSGC and I hope that you learned something from this experience and enjoyed working as a team.  We would like to encourage all of you to compete again this fall or encourage others from your school or other schools to compete. 

Because most of the teams did not have complete launches - "Launch must take place before 3:30pm on the day of the launch.  To be awarded points for flight you must have a successful flight; i.e.
Launch, deployment of recovery system, and controlled landing." - , the judges have decided to award consolation prizes to those teams.
So the awards are as shown:

2000 Ft Category
FIT - 2000ft team (First Place) - $750.00

ERPL - 2000ft team - $250.00

Maximum Altitude Category

ERFSEDS - Max. Altitude team (First Place) - $500.00

UF - Max. Altitude team - $250.00

ERPL - Max. Altitude team - $250.00

FIT - Max. Altitude team - $250.00
