Egg Drop Baby!!!

Today we underwent test day for our egg drop. Our design at the beginning was an old dog chew toy, which had a rubber inside lining. We found it was not big enough so we changed it to a box. In the box we have a Styrofoam cup filled with cotton balls that is suspended above a bunch of cotton lining. We will be working upon increasing the padding and somehow decreasing the mass and dimensions. Our egg didn't break until my other partner, Carmen, had a miss drop and hit the railings so we believe that our design will be successful.
