Last Weekend for Launch It! Challenge! Answered

12 years ago

Made it! A little rough around the edges, quite literally, but I've gotten it in on time, even if it doesn't show up in the "recent" list yet.

It's 23:02 here - almost time to log off.

LOL I looked at your project when it got featured. Your project is just fine for an ameuter, but I am a rocket scientist some I'm afraid I'm somewhat, shall we say, harsh on underengineered projects? No hard feelings, it would be kinda cool for a noob to win.

Try and be a good sport about the competition. There is no need to try and put someone else down. I strongly recommend you do not continue the conversation in this way.

I do apolgise, I don't believe my last commennt sounded how I ment for it to sound. What I ment to say is that kruser495's rocket is an excellent begginer's homebuilt rocket, which is preciscley what should be entered in the Launch It! Contest, for somethig more advanced would be somewhat beyond the scope of most people. I once more state no hard feelings, all of the projects are pretty cool, they all deerve to win.

As we all know, it is best to hide Mr. Hyde, lest we be counted snide.

Sorry, that came to me while I was reading and I thought I would torture you all with my silliness.

Midnight Sunday, isn't it? Let's see... Steam Fair, family christening, lesson planning, sleep.... Yes, I think I've got time to do one more entry, especially since I just got randomly handed two balloons!

Reply 12 years ago

Didn't you just go to a steam fair a couple months ago? And, yes, midnight Sunday PST, which is... 8 am on Monday for you?

Reply 12 years ago

I like steam fairs!

Plus, if I slip the leash, there are stalls selling tools and stuff you never see anywhere else. Sometimes even the stall-holder doesn't know what it is!

Reply 12 years ago

Well, I figured you liked them. I'm just surprised so many happen.

Reply 12 years ago

The last one we went to was on the other side of the country - it was pure coincidence that there was one on at the time. Having said that, this country has an awful lot of industrial heritage to draw on. Don't forget where steam, industrialisation and mass-production were invented, as well as many of the significant agricultural inventions were made here (I found out today that the ploughshare blade shape used today the world over was invented in Scotland over 250 years ago). There are three or four fairs a year within easy driving distance of us, and they have lots of other stuff as well - falconry, tractors, militaria, crafts, models, stalls - which keeps the whole family happy.

When are the projects getting judged?

Reply 12 years ago

We're not judging them, it's all about ratings and pageviews. That closes at noon PDT on Thursday Sept. 20.

Reply 12 years ago

Do you count the rating and pageviews after the deadline, or before AND after the deadline?

Reply 12 years ago

Contest closes on the 16th. Totals are tallied on the 20th.

John Smith

Reply 12 years ago

So you count from the very beginning, to 4 days after the deadline?

Reply 12 years ago

Correct.

Reply 12 years ago

Eek! Must rack up ratings, must rack up ratings, must rack up ratings...

Reply 12 years ago

The leader in ratings is kruser495 with his patriot rocket. He's at 30. Top pageviews is pudi.dk whose first instructable ever (!!!) has over 12,000 views

Reply 12 years ago

Don't know why, his rocket isn't that good. It got featured is the reason in my opinion.

Does anyone actually look at featured? I never do...
