Crayola Crayon Rockets

Since a friend pointed out that John Coker's' I-ROC rocket looked like a Crayon®, he's had the idea in mind to build a Crayon rocket. Not just a Crayon rocket, but a pack of Crayon rockets! The smallest pack of Crayons he could find had eight, so that was his target.

Although the eight rockets are pretty much standard mid-power rockets, they were cleverly launched from a box (the yellow and green Crayon box, of course) in rapid succession.

All eight of the DaveyFire matches popped, but only four of them ignited their motors. The four that did fly flew very nicely as you can see in the top photo.
