In physics we have about a week to come with a design and build a machine to stop the egg from breaking.
It will be launched from the third story
We only can use the materials the teacher ( about 100 straws and a meter of tape)
THATS ALL WE GET! The sraws bend a little but are not very flexible and when a force (hand) slms into them they crack in the middle

get 10,000 straws and 100m of tape and then start building and dropping. use your intuition to get started, but test, test some more, and then do some more tests; you get the idea :smile:.
