[Gabe] sent in this project summary from his rocketry club's yearly project(pdf). The goal was to build a rocket that would go up to about 800 meters and eject a robot that would pilot itself to a destination on the ground for re use. There's tons of great information from what hardware is in the robot to hardware design for the ejection mechanism.  There are great pictures of the final build, not so many of the construction itself. The project seemed to go well until EMI problems caused everything to fail during flight.  If you're interested in seeing more from the club, check out their site (translated).

Go there...
