Egg drop contest?

Back in SHHH22 we had a Egg drop contest. We attached rockets, put them in beer cans, springs, crammed a egg into a bag of bread, and all sorts of things to our eggs. I found the old rules documents while searching for VHS’s documents for this post and thought that it might be fun to run this contest again…

Anyone want to run the egg drop contest again at the next SHHH ?

This would be super fun.

It would be pretty cool to try and get a slo-mo camera pointed at the
impact point, too

I have one :slight_smile: (up to 8000 fps at 48x48 pixels, higher resolutions at lower frame rates) I’m still looking for a C-Mount TV lens for it. I got a few on my sights at eBay, but don’t know if they will arrive before SHHH. If anybody has a C-Mount (not CS-Mount) lens that they would like to loan?

C-Mount, hmmm, I thought I saw something like that on one of the cameras over
at The Hackery recently.

With just under three weeks I think there is time to run this contest if someone wants to organize it. Last time most people made their EDV the day off. I have my hands full with other projects at the moment or I would take this one.

Anyone interested in running this contest at VHS for SHHH ?
