> Oooh. I did this in, um, sixth grade, I think. It was fun! We were required to only use tape, straws, and I think that was about it. Maybe one or two more things. Anyhow, you know those big round straws? (If you've ever seen those Pearl Milk Teas, those straws are the ones that go into those teas. Ick.) Well, those are really useful. You can cut up the straws so they're almost like packing material and make a bottom that will support the egg. And remember to put some more straws on the top to protect it. That's what I did, at least. Be careful, though... my first try bombed, and my second try worked like a charm. So try different things. I'm not sure what restrictions or what loopholes you can use, so...

Another idea would be to tape as many straws to the egg as you can, pointing every which way. No matter how the egg lands, you'll have a bunch of straws there to absorb the shock.

This method is pretty simple and lightweight, and you might even be able to stick it in a box filled with tissue paper/packing peanuts/whatever.
