Huevo is quite the trooper, but his parents, all 6 of us, were responsible for his journey.
The creation of his hourglass shaped survival contraption was the result of quick planning and good teamwork. In our 25 minutes of brainstorming we tackled Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the planning process. We weighed out the pro's and con's of the traditional cube and then.. Our artist was responsible for the creative design of the hourglass and although certain members couldn't quite grasp the concept of the hourglass, the artist continued to sketch until it was clear to everyone. The 25 brainstorming period seemed a bit long to us, we were finished in about 10 and were more worried about the building time. In Step 2, we understood that not all hands could not be on deck, molesting little huevo was not the solution. So we split roles so it wouldn't end in the death of huevo. Some ripped tape, some gave corrective critiques to the positioning of pieces of tape, some taped the straws together for the final product, some cheered and some tried to steal scissors. The artist resigned and watched as we brought her sketch to life. After we had finished the b
asic figure of the sketch we decided to add more to it for alternative [tragic] endings. Safety first. We thought of other ways the contraption could have turned in air and began to add more cushioning in those tender spots. We continued to have our original goal in mind for success, there was not much doubt in us.. Whether it was life or death for Huevo we all saw that our teamwork was successful because we stuck to our plans with time to spare.Honestly the biggest dispute was naming the egg, I voted Milton and Norton.. and I got rejected..
Then i wanted to write his name on the egg, I got rejected again.. bummer.. but Huevo, he's the man

It sounds like your group know what they were doing in order to achieve a positive outcome. It looks like everyone had a fair share in contributing to the project. Your group was able to work together efficiently and effectively and that’s the important part in order to succeed. My group too was working together and throwing ideas out to during the last minute to see which idea would be fit, and we succeeded.
Congratulations on securing Huevo! Based on the pictures provided, its appears your group worked well together to achieve your objective. (I bet the extra pair of scissors came in handy =])My group had an idea to constuct a contraption similar to yours but we thought it would fail. You guys proved us wrong. Again, great job!
Isn't it nice seeing a group's hard work pay off in saving our beloved huevo? :)
The one thing that we could have done was have a plan B just in case our first structure did not work because reading through "the philosopher's" blog, their group only had one plan too and it did not work out for them But luckily for us, our one plan worked out and Huevo was saved. I guess we can keep that in mind for future activities. Our team worked well together nonetheless and we definitely had team spirit.
