04/11/2011 When eggs fly!

Today we had the first chance to test our idea with limited materials. It didn’t work out perfectly because we made a small mistake, anyways we are looking forward for our next try to show that we can do it.

We were thinking to make a structure but because we lacked of enough wooden sticks we made as much padding as we could and we put the egg in the middle.
Marshmallows, cotton balls were in the center. The whole structure was wrapped with bubble rap and wooden sticks were taped in the sides.
When we tried the first time the egg was perfect.

In our real try the egg broke. This happens because one of the rubber bands slipped and fell off making the egg move to a side and it broke.

To star we started with a brain storm to know the structure. We had some disagrees but we all ended with a common idea. Some people didn’t work as much as others but our team hopes to improve for our second try.

Our next try we will secure the egg better so if one rubber band slips there will be a second protection. Next time our structure will depend on our materials.
