FIRST DAY!

We are now on day one of our journey into making our bottle rocket, Free Bird 2.0 the Legend. We are deep into our research and will soon be assigning materials for each of us to bring to the construction tommorow. Big thanks to the workers on this project, James O'Connor, Brad Spitz, and Nolan Skelly.
