Re: Robotic Rocket
I'm not sure what you're refering to about "blowing up" the rocket.
Are you talking about a normal ejection charge that just shoots out the top of the rocket body?
Because that will halt most of it's upward movement, if not push it downwards, and it will eject your payload.
I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about keeping the parachutes attached to the egg from deploying at this point though.
Ideally you'd probably want to be able to use an engine that would put the apex of the rocket's trajectory at just over 800 feet, and then you could time the ejection charge to go off once it's fallen as low as you can comfortably open the parachutes.
