Rules:
1) No styrofoam or any kind of foam. Only corrugated cardboard, popsicle sticks, one layer of nylon on the egg, rubber bands, and Elmer's glue (enough to make connections). The empty container may have a mass no grater than 200.0g. A raw egg will be used.
2) The container, w/ the egg inside, will be launched from a catapult, which will be placed 1 meter from a 1-meter high wall.
3) The container w/ the unbroken egg must travel a minimum of three meters beyond the wall to qualify as a successful launch.
4) The egg must survive the flight intact (no cracks).
5) The winning entry willl be one that has the min. combination of mass and longest linear measurement and maximum trajectory. (less mass, the better)
6) THE EGG MUST BE FREELY SUSPENDED IN THE CONTAINER. IT CANNOT BE PACKED AND IN CONTACT WITH WALLS OF THE CONTAINER.
7) To get full credit, it must go past 9.0 m.
8) The catapult only holds the size of half a baseball so keep that in mind.
Thanks for your input!
