The Egg Drop Challenge

This lecture presents a bachelor project where two alternatives were proposed to design a device to protect an egg during free fall. Group 7 chose to create a 3D-printed cage with foam padding and elastic bands to secure the egg, along with a paper parachute. The first prototype successfully survived a 15-meter drop, demonstrating its reusability. However, the second alternative involved motorizing a drone to transport the egg, facing challenges with data transmission and ultimately failing to achieve the desired autonomy.
