On 07/06/2014, this time as part of the campus festival, our Eggdrop Contest took place for the 5th time in bright sunshine. Nine teams took on the task of building a construction (called an Eggdropper) that would protect a raw egg from a fall of 20 meters. In the end, four of the nine teams succeeded.
To quickly and safely bring the Eggdroppers to drop height above the forecourt of the Audimax, an aerial ladder from the Passau Volunteer Fire Department was used.

Accuracy and creativity were also decisive in the judging. So it is not surprising that a construction that was both elaborate and unusual, called “Hello-Kitty-Chainsaw-Massacre”, took first place.

The student fire brigade also participated with a team and promptly achieved 2nd place.

Prizes included vouchers provided by various Passau restaurants and eateries. Even the lower-placed teams did not go away empty-handed.

We sincerely thank the student fire brigade for their help with the successful event and wish all participants a good meal!
