Rocket Science

One of the events in this year's rocket season in random altitude. This is where the contest director announces an altitude between 100 and 300 meters at the beginning of a contest. The contestants each have one chance to fly a rocket to exactly that altitude. No practice runs. I have been doing computer modeling to determine the best model/engine combinations to fly to various altitudes.

Nothing seems to want to fly to the half way point of 200 meters.
