The unbreakable

I would say that our group had a good perspective we worked good as a team but did not organize ourselves well enough. We started brain storming about the possible solutions for the egg drop as soon as we had enough information, what I think we should have done was to perhaps get a team leader as it was requested. That team leader then to make sure that we are doing everything we are supposed to and to divide assignments amongst us. Instead we all did in a sense everything, and because of that somehow we ended not following the instruction all the way through. As I said we were a team with a lot of potential since we did the bigger part of the assignment and where able to save the egg from breaking, but have failed on a mechanical and easy part of the assignment where we were just supposed to follow the instructions. We were disqualified from the competition even though our egg did not break. The sheet where the plan was presented did not incorporate our names, and so we have failed as a team only because we did not follow the instructions that were given.  This was a good school and I know next opportunity I get the same mistakes will not occur.
