How do you make an egg slam projesct only using drinking straws toothpicks masking tape and glue and it has to be less than 20inches by 20inches from a 10 ft drop?

Answer 1

this is just an opinion but you could loosely wrap the egg in tape to provide a soft outer shell, then make a cube out of many, many toothpicks and glue. next place the tape covered egg in the box and add a lining of straw between the egg and the toothpick box. then close the box and use a little tape around the toothpicks to add more of a stable protective cube. on impact, the cube should break open absorbing allot of the fall. the egg will hopefully bounce around a little. (without the bounce, the egg doesn't move at all] the pressure inside the egg will break it...) i hope this helped... idk, just a dumb idea Okay, good idea, but the we are talking about straws, not straw. The straws, along with the toothpicks and glue could make a substantial tinker toy type protective box. Built into a box consisting of two inch squares, a 20" box would have 10 layers of shock absorption Or, build a round ball with the straws and toothpicks to build a Mar's rover type balloon cushion. Of, course with the egg wrapped and suspended inside with the tape.
