Payload Delivery Systems

The AERO students spent the afternoon building payload delivery systems, AKA the classic egg drop. Each team came up with a unique design to keep their egg intact through a crash landing, utilizing braces, airbags, or parachutes of many varieties. Each round of drops got more and more aggressive, seeing if their "eggstronauts" could survive their parachutes being cut or even just straight up thrown onto the ground.
