For our project in the class, we got an letter from Mr. B.I.G Cluck the farmer. He asked if we could make an egg carrier for his farm. On the farm where Mr. Cluck picks the eggs there is a sloping concrete wall and that is where the egg carrier goes down and goes across the farm. On the letter it told us about the specification for the carrier or in other words what we had to have:
- The vehicle must not run on any thing apart from gravity.
- The vehicle must travel as far as possible after it is released.
- The egg must be held securely and not be damaged in transit.
- The vehicle must be robust so that it can survive many journeys across the yard.
- The vehicle must travel in a straight line.
So in other words it can't have a motor of some sort, it has to travel as far as possible and it has to drive in a straight line. So now all teams have got names and they are all working on their egg carriers. The names of the teams are:
- Egg Rox
- Egg Heads
- Auto Egg 36o
- Hen House
- Super Egg
- Yokeys
We also had to make a name for the carriers/vehicles and the name are:
- Egg Rox 250
- Hen House Zoom
- Egg Heads
- Yokey 6000
- Auto Egg 360
- Egg Mobile

Hello Nevis
I like this kind of exercises, we do some right now too, and in april our children are going to meet some other schools and show how well they have solved 10 differnt tasks.
One of these is "Can you lift 10 kg only pulling in a sewing thread?"
Hello. Wow that must be hard. Pulling 10kg by some sewing thread.
