One of my friends in Duxbury, MA literally just contacted me. He entered some rocket competition and guess what he decided to build? A Douchenator! Not only did he build one, but he won the competition! :laugh:

Hah! Sweet! I 'm thinking about using mine for science fair next year. That's so cool that a piece of soakerdom just won a competition.
If you would like to join the Superior Water Attack Team please pm me.

Cool! What was the goal of the competition? Is your friend willing to share pics of his prize-winning project?

Hey, same here, last year at least. They held a rocket competition for the sec3s (equivalent of 9th grade I think).
The engineering team entered and used the WBL, and smashed the record of 36m, with a score of 102m. Once we fired our first round, the competition among the others was for second and third place.
No clause preventing the use of WBLs anyway ("must be propelled by air and/or water pressure"). Hehe.
This year I heard the added a clause to say that it must have "self propulsion" by the respective pressure method. Oh well, at least we made an lasting impact on their rules.

The goal was time in the air. My friend used a smaller barrel [probably 1.5" or 2". Hang time for a Douchenator could probably exceed 8 seconds with the right sized object and enough pressure.
