I know this is way outside the box, but......
In the rules, does it prevent you from using the unlimited amount of tape as a "rope" attached to the newspaper containing the egg? If not, then just lower the whole assembly as slowly as you'd like until it is resting on the ground.
This completely bypasses the dropping part of the test, and in turn, removes some of the fun.

But, if it works then the goal is met (kind of like a purely defensive robot). Now if you want to stick to the intent of the game, go with the cone.
