*What is a Goblin?* From the Oxford English Dictionary
Goblin (Noun) gŏb′lĭn
A) An ugly or grotesque sprite that is usually mischievous and sometimes evil and malicious
B) A shortish 4 fin rocket, typically identified by a large motor relative to the size of the rocket. Examples include PoleCat Goblin, Loc Goblin, scratch built goblins, rockets with goblin like parameters. Not to be confused with squat.
C) A mythical lost rocket, seen , like the Flying Dutchman but never to be found. Usually used in context with Wedge Oldham.
*What is the Goblin Event *
The Goblin Event will be a 'not so mass' launch of an entire range full of Goblins at June Rocstock / LDRS. Goblins will be launched in groups each up to the safe, and compliant total ISP. Any rocket meeting the requirements of B or C above can fly.
There will be three prizes for;
1) highest total thrust to rocket weight
2) highest peak thrust to weight
3) Most Goblinish (decided by a board of experts)
*If you want to fly in the event*, email me (put goblin in the subject);
* diameter
* motor to be used - include total impulse
* rail - or rod(what size)
* type of goblin (I.E. Polecat - Loc-scratch)
Times and details will come before the event.
