Our team was pretty good when it came to this task. We knew exactly what the our goal was... We all had a say in what our contraption was going to look like, and we all agreed on a few things like who was going to drop the egg. The area we could have used a some improvement on was identifying what we were good at and bad at. But, we might have figured them out eventually because everyone started to shout out a job they didn't want to do, and then we worked from there. We knew our resources was the same as everyone else's so we agreed that if another team could figure something out, so could we.
The team's planning process took quite a while, but we successfully planned our contraption and had a good idea of how we wanted it to look. Within the planning phase, we looked at the objective and just thought logically. We knew the egg had to some way stay protected while crashing into that bucket. Once we fully understood that, we started drawing designs we thought would work. We ended up incorporating elements from each of our ideas; taking the strongest elements and turning it into one super-egg protector. We went through the physics of the entire contraption and felt tour contraption was the best way to safely deliver the egg into that bucket.
Even though the contraption didn't succeed, I still think it was a better design than the rest of the classes. I think the only way we could of had more success is if we had more time and a few test runs...
