It's next week's video early for Patrons. I decided to do something with the crash test dummy I built.

Unfortunately you won't be able to see the other side of the story until next Tuesday when both videos go out publicly.

Human Egg Drop - PREVIEW VERSION

It's time for the human egg drop challenge - it's like the egg drops challenge where you have to protect an egg from being dropped, but with a crash test dummy! I challenged @KidsInventStuff to build something to protect our human egg from being dropped from a crane.

Very cool invention indeed. I suppose you would need to use metal instead of wood.

I think maybe if I'd had bungees on the ends of each ratchet strap it may have been more bouncy. That said, I'd probably do something totally different next time.

Yeah, like others I saw that coming. The weakest link had to be the lumber. Need something stronger, but not to costly for something like this. Great experiment. :)

I think if I had a higher power balancing system and more thrust ultimately it would be been ok. If I make mecanum wheels they'll be smaller, and there are lots of funny angles, so I'll probably 3D print the lot.
