(http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t522/robomont/2013-11-13215855_zps0f5aa084.jpg)hey guys .its that time of year for the egg drop contest.ive got ideas but i wanted to hear from yall.give me some ideas to pass on to my daughter.
6.25 to 28 bucks for costs. wow I will drop an egg for free and save the money lol
What is with this, 5 bucks an egg? Has inflation risen that much at home? This is for kids?
1 foot of masking tape 2 bucks, I can get several rolls for that
3oz paper cup 2 bucks? Not even a big slurppy plastic cup
Straws you can get free. See McDonalds.
Paper a buck a sheet. Wow what does TP cost now, 500 a roll...
I can see an entrance fee with a kit given but to place such a high value on these items is like a 700 hammer
or 50,000 dolar toilet from NASA.
Hardboiled eggs 50 bucks, that will win.
All kidding aside I will have to think it over and create a bank account for this event....

Ok i see a 3 meter drop, Do you have any info on the braided string. Is it plain kite string or like a wick.
I guess the egg is a chicken egg.
White paper letter size?
Masking tape 3/4 inch wide?
Paper straws, standard size or the fat or skinny ones?
Who wrote that list? Was not an Engineer....

Fun times ahead, I can drop them off my balcony. It is a least 15 meters to the ground..
Those arent real prices.its used to help in determining the winner.to keep kids from just making a giant paper ball.a)engineering x b) cost =c(final result
Yea kite string would be my guess.and plastic straws instead of paper.paper would be typing paper .
You bring up a good point.it should me more detailed.the state of our education system sucks here in the usa.even the teachers arent that bright.
My daghter got in trouble last week for saying motherfriger.i called the principle and ask for a list of banned words and he said there wasnt one.
I then asked him if he was trying to promote authoritarian dictatorship.
Beforw i hung up i cussed him out.lol.

Add anything to make it spin faster, it will slow it dow. Cut slots add flaps.
Break 5 dollar eggs all day. Crumple paper can only be used once and must be preloaded.
Have fun..See if it works. If not you get to eat a lot of scambled eggs

Will show to daughter in morn.i like the bow on bottom
It might be easy to put the strings through the cup and upside down the bow. Would have to se which way works beter for the shock. One might land, one might bounce.
