Egg drop, Post two!

Our container was 12 cm/12 cm/ 22cm. it weighed 75.59 grams and fell 5 meters in .99 seconds. The eggs condition was perfect earning us a total 264.9 egg points.the most effective part of our design was the sponges they are light and soft absorbing all the force without adding weight to the container. the least effective part was the weight of the container, if it was lighter we would have gained more points. To make it able to carry two eggs the design of the container would be changed; the two eggs would be half in one sponge (whether the top or bottom, one in each) and the other half of each would be in the middle sponge.

Egg drop, Post one!

Test day for our container was a success. We each created our own container and they each worked the same, we went with my design because of the weight difference and mine was lighter. First we tested each container at the highest point of the stairs each keeping the eggs in one piece, so we tried a little more force by kicking it at a wall before it fell and it also survived. The only changes we made to the container was added lighter string. (Video by Melissa)
