The great egg drop

Today we were given the task to protect an egg from breaking from four different heights using only a roll of masking tape and 5 straws.
For our team we decided to wrap the egg in layers of straws and tape and also to use the cardboard on the inside of the roll, unfortunately this didn't work well and our egg broke. 


The point of this exercise was to help us try and think outside the box, idea's like a para-shoot and a rope to lower it down to the ground would have worked much much better and would have shown lateral thinking.
