Egg Lander 2

Because all groups failed the first egg lander, so Mr. Chung asked us to build it for the send time with the experience learnt. This time we got 25 straws, tapes but no newspapers. Our new group members shared our experience from previous egg lander and tried to improve it. Our group first decided to build a structure that has straws sticking out from the encasing so that the shocked was absorbed. However, this idea was then denied because some groups did this and then failed. Then we realized that a ball structure would be better to absorb shocks than other shapes as it is symmetrical. Eventually we decided to make a egg lander based on a soccer ball shape with a triangular pyramid shape inside t hold the egg. The ball shape is for absorbing the shock and the triangular pyramid shape inside the egg lander would secure the egg. We also left a little space with the pyramid shape to allow the egg move inside it, so the shock won't be transferred to the egg and egg won't be crashed. But one problem is that ball-shape structure need so many tapes to hold it together and make it stable, so we used too many tapes than we allow to...

Actually, everyone in our class thought our egg lander was going to work, including our teacher, Mr. Chung. Unfortunately, our egg was broken. This is because the egg lander was first landed on the tree branches, and then it was bounced off to the ground, which means that the egg lander got the shock much more than the shock it should be got. Also, one side of the triangular pyramid shape which is used to hold the egg lander was break away, the egg came out and crashed onto the ground.
