Day 2
Team: Joel and Scott
Country: Spain
Due to difficulties with flooding my partner and I were not able to attend one of the most important days of the actual egg drop project. However I did get the chance to discuss this with him. We told each other that although we were not going to be able to attend the lab that we would brainstorm different ideas for the catching apparatus so that we were not completely blind when we started building. I was starting to redesign the original contraption into something taller so that the egg would be able to have more room to slow down. Another idea was coming up with a base that would be able to absorb more energy. Joel and I also think that sticking with the funnel Idea is for the best. I sketched out a design transforming the original cube design we had into an upright rectangle catcher.
First Design ^ Second Design ^
I feel the second design is going to be much better because of the more energy that is going to be absorbed with the new design of the base. Joel and I will be able to discuss these changes further when we meet next class and start building.
