PROBLEM: Your company is the #1 supplier of chicken eggs for other planets in space. Due to territory restrictions, on some planets you are not allowed to land to deliver the eggs. You can only get your spacecraft as close as 2 meters to the ground to deliver the eggs. Your boss has given you and several others the task of figuring out how to deliver the eggs without cracking them. As a new employee of the company, you will compete with your peers to have your design chosen so that you can receive a promotion within the company. Space egg delivery is a very expensive business though and he wants to fit as many single eggs on board the ship as possible. He demands that you figure out the smallest contraption to deliver the eggs one by one to the other planets.
Essential Question: What design would allow you to create the smallest system capable of protecting an egg from a fall of 2 meters?
