Oh Noes! Catostrophic launch failure!
Looks like the cement just ain't gonna work at the top...
The good news is the stick lived to fly again...
Some notes... Youtube really butchers the quality here. I used a high speed camera at 320x240 and 60 FPS. The high framerate looks awesome in slow-motion. I can actually see the cement plug being ejected and flying thru about 7 frames. You can hear it go 'kerplunk' when it hits the water, i moved the camera to try to capture where it landed, but I failed.
I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track with this, just need to make the motor a little bit stronger.
