Performance Day

Our group consisting of Greg, Shelby and myself came up with a design having the main focus being suspension. We took a circular box with the dimensions 20.5 by 21 by 11.5 cm and took 4 pieces of pantyhose that we stretched across our box and stapled to the sides. We made sure that we had one piece stretched on the top and 3 across the bottom to support our suspension system. It started off with bread in the bottom of our container along with packing peanuts with the container on, but we felt fairly safe in the sense that we didn't need it for support and it was instead reducing egg points from our total because of the mass. For this reason after test day we decided that we would go with a simplicity design, containing only the pantyhose and no lid.This meant that in order for our egg not to break we would have to make sure it was centered so that the box would land up right rather than on it's side or face. On the test day we dropped our container up t0 5 times, and then the day after 7 and not once did it break or crack so we felt confident enough to leave it alone and wait till test day!
