If only our Eggy had wings

If only our little Eggy had wings to fly...  I wouldn't have been looking like a idiot jumping up and down front of the class thinking our Eggy survived the fall.  I really did believe our eggy made the fall and in fact I got the whole class thinking that our Eggy made the fall.  It was extremely sad to see 10 points fly away when the Prof. Kurpis pulled out our cracked Eggy from the trash can.

When there is failure you can always learn from it.  From this class I realize how difficult it is to come together and execute a plan even with a clear objective when there is pressure from time limitation.

First, Our goal and objective was fairly clear.

• Protect the egg from the 10 feet drop.

Second, Evaluation of our resources.

• Our team decide to carefully plan by assessing amount of resources we had to make sure we made the right amount of cuts and pieces of straws and tapes.

Third, Development and alternative and tactical planning

• This is where I think we could have done better and the reason why are Eggy didn't survive the fall.
• We could not come up with a clear design - Our team did excellent job on brain storming for ideas but we spent the whole 25 mins and couldn't come up with clean design that would actually protect the our egg from the fall.
• In the end, we decided to bulid some foundation of cushion on the base of the egg where it will initially have the contact at the fall and then lay small layer of cushion on the four side of the egg.

Fourth, Implementing and evaluation

• Our team really rushed trying to execute the plan that we came up with, however, without a clear design its hard to execute and our egg didn't really look like anything that I imagined it will look like.
• I volunteered to go first when it came to evaluation because to be honest, despite the lack of design and creativity, I thought our Eggy had enough to survive the fall.

Conclusion, the most difficult part about this exercise was that we had time limitation rather than limited resources.  We were really rushing trying to come up with a solid design and without it, 10 minutes to execute was not nearly enough and only to tape on few straws to our poor Eggy.
