i did the same style project myjr year of high school and we were olny alowed to use printer paper. no tape glue ... just paper. my group got 27feet
here is the design:
you need to make small paper cones about the size of a golf ball and put them in the 4 corners of a piece of paper and one in the centerthen lay a piece of paper on top of that. the next layer of cones go on top of that BUT move then to the center by an inch of so then repeat till the four cones are about 1inch appart.
make sure the egg hits the center of the cones how it is the egg hits the top piece of paper then the paper cones colapse then the next piece of papeg is hit, cones smash, and so on.
its kinda like the stunt people who land on boxes after jumping off a bulding.
dashes,------, equal paper sheets
slashes ,/\, equal cones
don't look at the periods ..... pretend they werent there

the force of the impact is transfered from layer to layerand outward at the same time
remember friction is your friend :clapping:
