I did some small work today, I first began by making my own water deluge system, I first made a container that fits under the rocket launch pad and has a small sumersible water pump that pushes water directly under where the motors engine heat will be concentrated, I did this to mainly to lengthen the lifetime of the launchpad because after a certain number of launches this will probably just be too damaged. I also chose the uno r4 edition as my board that will control all my electronics, with this I can control the 2 servos, 2 esp32 cams,5 lights on the launchpad much easier and from a safer distance. I also did some BOM work and figured what parts I would need, I’m hoping this is an x tier project, the flight computer itself is coming out to $230 with shipping so I’ll have to find ways to save costs. The final steps are to make a BOM and finish up the landing legs.

Wow, this looks very cool! How much do you think it will increase the life of your launch pad by?

@Sreeni

@Advay right now im hoping this launchpad will last for around 25-30 launches, I’m also going to add a small aluminium plate right under where the motor will be to help more.
