my egg drop gets about 3.2 sec. off of a 5m drop. How competitive would that be?

Why one cup on top of another? You can save a few grams by just having a string there and tape the given cup to it. It should take you no time or effort to tape a cup to the string.

my first egg drop got 3.7 seconds at an invitational tournament at 18 fee and i got 1rst. if that helps you

I made a big rotor-egg drop, and dropped down our schools' stair case. I think it was 17 feet, and I used a 57 g. weight (that's like the average weight of an egg) and it fell in 6.1 seconds. Is this a good time?

What do you mean when you say big? That seems like a ridiculously high time.

The maximum size (it fits in the box).

Yea...umm.. maximum size is 51x51x51 cm.

I was just wondering because people were making rotors that went across the diagonals of the box, but they made a rules clarification that you have to measure it when thebox has at least one face parallel to the ground. Because of this most proctors make you drop it diagonally

If you look at the national website in the rule clarification, it says that the rotor with length made to fit diagonal of the 51x51x51 cube is illegal. The proctors should have instead put that device in at least tier 3?

Are you sure that is the right time at the stated height? It seems too good to be true to me.
