Egg Drop


OBJECTIVE

The objective is to make a "naked egg" survive a 2-3m fall and remain uncracked.


RULES:

  • A grade A medium chicken egg will be supplied.

  • You can use anything to cushion the fall of the egg.

  • If the egg bounces around, it should remain uncracked when it comes to rest.



For unbroken eggs, the "least volume device" cushioning the fall of the egg, wins. Volume
will be that of the smallest rectangular box that can completely hold the device within it.
