Nice Job!

Nice one.  Would there be any advantage to making your wheelbase longer / wider for a more stable run. 

Looking at the distance the payload travelled I wonder if your launch pad was truely horizontal / vertical - do you check somehow to ensure that the launch pad is horizontal when selecting your launching position?

Thanks, Pete :slight_smile: I had no

Thanks, Pete :slight_smile: I had no problem with the wheelbase regarding stability. The launch rod ( Ø 3 mm stainless steel) and rocket are shaking a little bit too much. I think I will use a kind of trail for the next version. The rocket in the video was launched vertical (90°). The launch pad is adjustable from 45° to 90°. Now only manual, later a servo will do the job, controlled by a inclination sensor, so the launch pad will always be in the right position, independed from the inclination angle of the rover. BTW, the launch angle should be not less then 60° to avoid sombody get hit/hurt by the rocket.
