Naked Egg Drop

History
This event was held a few years back, but then it was rotated out. It can still be found at some state level tournaments. Texas had egg drop until 2008-2009 when it was rotated out, but some invitationals in Texas still used it as a event in 2009-2010.

Challenge
When the event was in the official rotation, competitors were provided with a specified set of building materials to construct a "crate" that would encapsulate a raw egg. This assembly would then be dropped from between 3 and 12 meters, depending both on the level of competition and the judge's discretion. Scoring ranked devices by first whether the egg broke, second by the distance they came to rest from a target on the floor, and thirdly by the mass of the device.
