Can radios such as tracking beacons or radio-control systems be used, and if so are there any frequency limits?
Radio-control systems are not permitted in TARC rockets, only “autonomous” onboard control systems such as timers may be used to control the flight duration of the rockets. Transmit-only tracking beacons for post-flight location of the rocket are permitted. We would like to build a composite or plastic rocket for the Team America Rocketry Challenge. Would we be violating the rules if we had a trained technician mold it for us at a composite or plastics company using our design specifications? Yes, you would be violating the Team America Rocketry Challenge rules. The flight vehicle must be made by the student team members. To quote the rules: “Each student member must make a significant contribution to the designing, building, and/or launching of the team’s entry; no part of any of these may be done by an adult (including the supervising teacher/adult), by a company (except by sale of standard off-the shelf components, but not kits or designs for the event), or by any person not on that
