Eggs-20

X planes has traditionally been air force's experimental vehicles... for example X-1 was the first plane Chuck Yeager flew to go break the sound barrier...

Anyway, so this week, a few colleagues of mine have taken on a challenge of building a brand new X-vehicle... or Eggs-Vehicle... for engineering week's egg drop competition! We ambitiously aimed to carry 2 dozen eggs, but later on found out we miscalculated and can only legally carry 20 eggs.

So Eggs-20 was born.

On Wednesday, Eggs-20 could've easily won the competition by being the most accurate, the most eggs survived and the most creative... we ended up breaking 5 out of 20 eggs... the 75% survival rate wouldn't be able to win in that category...

Anyway, to make long short... our dream and hope was dashed when our broken eggs leaked... so we were disqualified on the spot... :(

Oh well, perhaps next year, we'll be more successful with Eggs-36. ;)

We really didn't have a whole lot of free time, I think we're all pretty busy with work... and 2 of our teammate actually bailed on us... so it's really a miracle that we were able to finish at all. It was fun at least... eventhough we didn't win..., but technically we didn't lose either. We were just practicing and giving folks a preview of what's to come next year! HAHA! :D

Anyway, now it's time to catch up on real work and my daily devotion too!

Although everything is meaningless, I still need to prioritize better which meaningless thing is more important! ;)
