The Egg drop challenge

we where given 6 straws,  a roll of masking tape and an egg.
 and told we would be dropping it over 1-4 floor to hit the ground , and we had to stop the egg form breaking.

The group was
Jake, AJ ,Billy and Myself.

The first bit we discussed what ideas we should do and then talked about how  we would do it.
then some of us drew the designs for what we where thinking.

in the end we took one Idea and worked with it and adapted it as we went.
We took in account of wind, velocity, surface area and what bit would hit first.

We decided we would use the inner part of the tape reel to take some of the shock.
and added straws around the side to add bounce and a bit of cushioning,
we also put the egg in the middle of the tube so it would take the shock.
