Egg drop contest About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Egg drop contest // Collaboration 1  |   Order by default Post by roman // May 9, 2006, 9:06pm roman Total Posts: 320 In real world this is a fun competition where participants create a protective enclosure or other contraption designed to protect the egg from breaking upon impact with the ground. Participants design little parachutes, boxes, soft padding etc, then put the egg inside and drop it from some standard height, say 20 feet. Winner is the guy whose egg survived the impact with the ground intact. My challenge to you is to do the same in shared space on TP portal. Our developers can help, for example create a standard breakable egg, standard tower for dropping and put everything in shared space for you guys to experiment with your protective designs. This could be fun. One more thing, could we do first tests by Friday?

This is going back some years but I actually found one this morning (yes, I realise it is not an egg shape); Post by prodigy // Apr 23, 2007, 9:30am prodigy Total Posts: 3029 This contest still alive?? :confused: Sounds good and funny! :jumpy: Post by Chester Desmond // Apr 23, 2007, 11:05am Chester Desmond Total Posts: 323 Hey prodigy, if you come across the dead sea scrolls let me know. I need to clarify a couple of things.:D Post by hultek43 // Apr 23, 2007, 12:05pm hultek43 Total Posts: 234 Participants design little parachutes, boxes, soft padding etc, then put the egg inside and drop it from some standard height, say 20 feet. Winner is the guy whose egg survived the impact with the ground intact. Make it 10 feet, and no parachutes. I'm still on TS 6.6 :D
