Egg Challenge Competition Day

 
The Restriction that was most limiting about our container was the size beczuse we could have put more tissue under the egg but it was hard to judge how much to put in because once the egg was placed over top you couldn't teel if there was enough at the bottom.
 
The least effective part of our containers design in my opinion was the supension of the egg having it tied to th lid of the container was ment to kept it from hitting the bottom of the container when landing but im not sure if it was entirely effective. The most effective part of the container was the tissue on the side of the container because if the wasn't any thing there preventing the egg from hitting the wall of the cotainer it would haveit thewall and cracked the egg.
 
For our container to support 2 eggs we would have to adapte it by making the container big enough to fit 2 eggs the we would have to put the eggs in seprate bg that were suspended from the lid at 2 different spots and around and in between te eggs there would have to be extra tissue to prevent the eggs from hitting each other.
