Design a device that can safely transport an egg when dropped from about 10+ meters to the ground (the egg cannot crack or break.) The device must have a max of 100 grams (record is 17g) and may be made of wood, cloth, plastic, string, paper, glue, metal, tape, rubber and/or cardboard. It cannot be made of anything that will rot or smells, liquids, or gels or anything that could potentially injure someone. The device may not include padding of any kind inside or outside the structure, containers filled with gas (bubble wrap, balloons, etc), a parachute or wing of any type, or wrapping or coating of the egg. Other requirements are a way to easily insert and remove the egg in 30 seconds, the egg must remain inside the device throughout the fall and after the landing, all parts of the device must remain together throughout the travel, and max dimensions are 25 cm * 25 cm * 40cm at all times. Budget: $8.
DUE: May 30th.
Well...that's everything about it. I don't have any ideas since I can't wrap/coat it or use any liquids. Any helpful hints? Any will be greatly appreciated! Please and Thank You!
