Bungee

On August 15th, I uploaded a picture and video of my initial egg drop attempt which was a huge success! Unfortunately, due to its non-conventional approach, it didn't qualify as an official Egg Drop Challenge entry, so I only printed 1 meter of rope segments to demonstrate the concept. This idea came from my ingenious 10-year old son who suggested a method similar to bungee jumping. Although it might not align with the competition's spirit, it is indeed a creative way to survive falls of at least 15 feet. I used the sling from my previous "Eggs-2 Skycycle Rocket" project for a quick prototype. However, note that impact is not recommended. Please download the files to view the video.
