Egg Prototype

Our project consisted of a large cardboard box with a smaller box suspended by elastics on the inside (in which our egg will sit) both of which are supported by a liberal wrapping of tuck-tape. We ran into some difficulty when our box dimensions were too large, but was easily corrected by cutting and shimming  a side inward. We also had issues when our egg (not in a plastic bag) broke in our box ,compromising the sanitation of our project. We then had to use different materials (foam to gauze) to cushion our egg, these materials were not as effective as our previous ones and gave mixed results. We then switched our materials yet again (gauze to bubble wrap) which then proved to be as (or more) effective than our fists choice of materials.
