Egg Drop Competition Day!

The mass of our container on competition day, after our modifications, was 137.0 g. The containers final dimensions were 27cm/26cm/11cm and dropped from five meters in 1.07 seconds. Our drop was successful, scoring us a perfect 10. Our egg points were calculated out to be 146. I believe that the parachute rule really prevented our container from its full potential. With a parachute attached to our container, you could drop it as many times, and as high as you want and it wouldn't break. I think that the most effective part of our containers design was the flaps. The flaps allowed stabilization during the drop and also slowed down the fall. I don't really see any weaknesses in our design overall, every part of the container was essential for the success of the drop. If I were to carry two eggs I would alter our design by cutting two holes in the toilet roll and i believe that it would also help stabilize the container during the fall.
