One designs had the egg in a small styrofoam box with cotton and a parachute. The parachute did nothing but the cotton and styrofoam made it work.

This is one of the few times i think I did the best. I achived every weight and volume achivement. The one thing i could work on would be acuracy but i barley slid buy on weight. Mr. Olson even reused my egg.
