Re: please help me! its an egg drop contest
I've done two, both not as successful as I'd prefer. But at least I know what I did wrong.
One of the sheets has to be a parachute. This is non-negotiable for success--there's no way to do it without slowing down the egg.
The other sheet will have to be the basket--I'd imagine a quarter-sheet basket, wrapped like a cone, connected to the corners of the chute would work, with the other 3/4 sheet used for some light padding. (Tear strips and crumple.)
These are just thoughts--make sure you test your design as best you can beforehand. It seems to do wonders to work the bugs out.
