Thanks for all the help guys!<br>CC: "Kristy M. Collins" <kdivitto@vbi.vt.edu><br><br>
<p>We had around 10-14 NRVR Members helping oversee and run the Kid's Tech Launch on Saturday.. and it was a HUGE success!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Wow.. I think we set an all time record with something like 189 launches! (was that right Jimmy?)<br>

<p>Anyway.. it was crazy busy.. but a real hoot.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Our assembly/prep line consisted of three 8ft kid tables for stuffing motors, another the tables run by VT-Rocketry that did the igniter and chute stuffing, and then our RSO check-in tables at the launch tent. It went surprisingly smooth up until the end
where we (the check-ins) were the bottleneck from the last big group of kids who flooded in.. but this was to be expected... and those waiting to get checked in had a first row seat to watch the 10 rocket drag races. Which were "Really cool" (in a good way
:)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here are the shots of the event (for those of you who missed them on the Fbook post:<br>

<p>I just mainly did running around for the first quarter of the event helping fill in gaps and fix problems. About an hour in though, I saw that we needed to fix some of the large % of rocket mis-builds (that was fun).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But we really want to thank the NRVR Volunteers below who actually did most of the grunt work and helped us plow through nearly 200 rocket launches!!!<br>
