Egg Drop Summary Conclusion

The thing I liked most about this project is that I got to experience how to build something with a partner I feel comfortable working with. My egg drop project didn't succeed, but I think what would've made it succeed and land perfectly would be adding another piece of cloth or two underneath the egg. Some other ideas from other people might have helped us because I see some people putting a layer of string on the bottom of the base and that could have also helped the egg stay inside. Additional materials such as a push pin helped hold the cloth, that was supposed to hold the egg, in place. Unfortunately it wasn't listed as part of the materials we could have used, so instead, we used the paper clips. We would unwind them and then wrap them around the straws. Last of all, working with Tobias is great because he came in handy. He gave me some ideas and got me materials whenever he saw me running out. He also came up with the paperclip idea that was really helpful. Tobias is someone who I can work with and he can give very good ideas.

In the article,"Surprise! Roku LT is a better buy than Apple TV", by Adrian Covert explains how the Roku is a better thing to buy than the Apple TV. It tells how the Roku is a small, quiet and easy- to- manage sort of thing. It may not be fast nor beautiful as the Apple TV but it offers more content.

Design Process: Egg Drop Project

The problem of this project is that the supplies are turned upside down when landing and then the supplies break. It also has a high speed of impact when landing which also causes the supplies to break. The people who asks for the supplies to land safely is the U.S. Army. The Army wants a model that has directional control and an impact that absorbtion system for the cargo. We have a $50 budget to build the project, so we are limited to what we can build the model with.
