The Great Annual Rocket Launch Of 2006! Held July 1, 2006 at Dodds Park in Champaign, Illinois. This year's theme was "Cluster's Last Stand," featuring clustered, staged, and any other multiple-motor configurations.
Robert Brunner's THOY Robin lifts off on what may be its last flight. The rocket landed on Bradley Avenue southwest of the launch site and was immediately run over by a truck! Welcome to the Road Kill Club, Robert! Photo by Greg Smith
