At the 7th of June 2014 our 5. Eggdrop Contest took place. This time it was part of the Campusfest. 9 teams had set themselves to the task of building an Eggdropper which is a construction to protect a raw egg from breaking while falling freely from a height of 20 meters onto the ground. At the end four of the nine teams succeeded.

To lift the Eggdroppers into the air a turntable ladder was used which was provided by the volunteer fire department of Passau.

The scoring did not only include the state of the eggs but also how far away from a defined point the Eggdropper landed and the creativity put into the construction. It was no surprise that the winner was a complex and extraordinary Eggdropper named  "Hello-Kitty-Chainsaw-Massacre".

The team consisting of student firefighters scored the second place.

Every participating team won a gift certificate provided by several bars and restaurants in Passau.

We thank the fire department for their support and to all participants: enjoy your meal!
