Rocket enthusiast Eddy Robinson has not only created and built his very own rocket but also a fantastically over specified rocket launch control system, which looks like something straight out of Mission Impossible.
“As part of a huge project involving model rockets I needed a controller. But like all my projects I couldn’t just stick to the basics and make a handheld single-button controller that just launches a model rocket, no, I had to go extremely overkill and make it as complicated and over the top as I could possibly think of. I did have ideas to make this even more over the top, however those ideas were a bit out of the budget for a 16 year old student.
After much research and planning I could not find any resources in the way of ‘briefcase rocket controllers’ as they are not exactly a common item, so I needed to design my own from scratch. The main part of my whole project, the rocket itself, is made from carbon fibre and looks pretty badass, so I wanted to continue this theme through to the controller, and the steel launch pad (currently incomplete).”
