Our team from Conno Soga High School was a former
record holder back in 2022, and our record was broken
0:14
We're hoping to bring this record back today to the United States.
It was broken in December of 2023 by someone in India at 54 feet

We were attempting at over 80 feet today. To drop a
protected egg means that you can use certain materials

So we have materials such as straws and masking tape and note card
and some cardboard and a plastic grocery bag, some elastic cord

That's our egg drop mechanism. You can only use certain amounts of these materials. You also
have to have an egg that is not hard boiled and we're going to prove that at the end of this

Three, two, one. Tissue test it. We're
gonna extract the egg, tissue test it

We'll break some of the ice.
It's just going to be bad
