Dropping Eggs from Drones for Fun and Science - Rotating Egg Drop Mechanism

I was invited by a local school to participate in their Egg-Drop science event and this is one of the results. The reason they invited me was because they wanted to do something different this year. Instead of dropping boxes to protect contained eggs they wanted to drop eggs from a drone or multirotor and try to catch and protect the eggs.

This was the second version of our dropping device. (Check out the first one here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:855304) This version uses paper cups
