Egg Drop Competition Day

Our egg container worked perfectly, we dropped it from 5 m and the egg was not affected at all.  Out of the whole group only one egg was broken so the class did great overall. 

When we built our container we never really had any restrictions or problems with our design because of our easy, straight-forward design. 
The most effective part on our container was, well it would be the foam because that was the only material used, and it worked perfectly, the egg cushioned the blow and bounced up off the floor.
I don't think that we would change our design if we had the chance to because it had no problems and was effective, and also it was very easy to do.

In order to carry 2 eggs succesfully we would use the same basic design except carve the hole in the centre bigger to fit both the eggs inside.  To ensure the eggs won't touch we would fit a piece of foam in between them which would cushion all blows from all directions.
