Egg Lander 2.0

Egg goop

Failed Lander

Group!










The Design

After the failure of the last design our new group decided to design the lander with only accordions. This way all the impact should be absorbed and there will be no solid frame to cause additional stress to the egg.  We sandwiched our egg with two accordions on the top and bottom, while we protected the sides with six mini accordions.

The Results

The accordions were to short and too flimsy to hold the force of the falling egg, and the egg broke :( However two groups were able to succeed in keeping their eggs alive (one group in a coma) and we many now proceed onto the new project.
