Egg Drop-Competition Day

On competition day our egg survived the drop from 5 meters. The most restricting part to our design would be the weight because it restricted us from getting the most points we could have. The most effective part of our container would be the soft cushion at the bottom that helped us have a soft landing when it hit the ground. That was the most effective because it allowed our container to have a soft landing to stop the egg from breaking when it hit on impact. The least effective part probably would have been the top where the egg was put in because it was less cushioned so if it would of flipped when we dropped it, it probably or could of broke. I think that design we had already could have already supported to eggs in it because it had enough room in it to have two eggs fit in it.
This is a picture of our group member Mac about to drop our container on competition day.
