Eggdrop Contest recently took place. Despite of rainy weather in the afternoon of May 23 14 teams took the challenge of constructing a device called “Eggdropper” to protect a raw egg from breaking while falling from a height of 20 meters onto the ground. To lift the Eggdroppers into the air a turntable ladder was used which was provided by the volunteer fire department of Passau which also allowed the participants to enjoy the view of Passau from above. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/looking-back-to-the-eggdrop-contest-2014/ Sun, 22 Jun 2014 15:51:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/looking-back-to-the-eggdrop-contest-2014/ On 07/06/2014, this time as part of the campus festival, our Eggdrop Contest took place for the 5th time in bright sunshine. Nine teams took on the task of building a construction (called an Eggdropper) that would protect a raw egg from a fall of 20 meters. In the end, four of the nine teams succeeded. To quickly and safely bring the Eggdroppers to drop height above the forecourt of the Audimax, an aerial ladder from the Passau Volunteer Fire Department was used. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/egg-drop-contest-2011/ Sat, 16 Jul 2011 11:37:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/egg-drop-contest-2011/ The IEEE Student Branch Passau hosts the so called Egg-Drop-Contest, where you have to protect chickens eggs when they are dropped from a height of \ [STRIKEOUT:10] [STRIKEOUT:15] 20 meters.

They will be ranked by the effectiveness of the protection and the creativity.
