>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 :)

>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).

>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!!!
