Egg Challenge 4: Ultimate Egg Drop

 

The Purpose: the purpose of this project was to construct a vehicle that will land in a designated landing zone THE SOCCER FIELD (MIDDLE) while protecting a raw egg from a fall.

 

The Directions: to create a paper structure that is tested to adequately protect an egg from breaking. The structure shall be tested for both lateral and vertical protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At first, we built a frisbee structure the same which was in final test, but we did not believe that we will pass the final test because we never did priveouses, so we did not like the results. Then we trashed the same but new design and put the egg in the middle and fix it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our final design was a frisbee-looking structure because when deciding the structure at the beginning.  So for the design exemption we requested to have the weight limit be 200 grams, so that we could make the structure heavier. Our egg completly survived because we had a paper ball in the center. The ball inside had shredded paper. The frisbee paper landed perfect in the middle. UNBELIEVABLE!!! We are only one who survived and pass final!!! Next time, I would make the structure more prittier =0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three engineering design components that I learned from this class and that I applied to my egg drop project are that shredded paper is good for keeping an item stable inside the structure, cylinders are GOOD for protecting a structure from heavy objects. Also, Weight metters a lot in the structer.
