An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan, A Sad Way to End

Our team generally did a good job during the whole process though there were a bit discussion chaos happened in between; we considered it was a part of the brain storming process. Initially, we went through the first 3 steps at the same time. We defined our goal by evaluating our test objects and their properties. We drafted two plans. Then we evaluated two plans with their scenarios to the egg case and found one of them is more likely to achieve the achieve the best result though there is still opposite opinions. Among two plans, we chose the best one by a group vote.  After that, we had a quick discussion on building method and immediately afterward we started constructing process. During the process, the whole team automatically distributed tasks among us. One delivered the tape, two and sometimes three built the egg-protector. While the rest of the team gave advises and provided necessary hand support. In conclusion, we went through all 5 steps though we did follow exact order because the time frame constrain and high team discussion flexibility within the group. Our planning process was effective because our whole constructing period did not involve much discussion rather than actions that focus on building up the device. However, we could have been done perfectly if we just had one person keep focusing on the time available through the whole planning process so that we may speed it up a bit more. The final unpleasant pitch of disqualification because of unexpected “home run” of our project presenter, depressed some of our team members, who were as well dedicated, or spend even more energy and enthusiasm to this project. Off the record, I just found our team fell into a typical ethical dilemma—what is the right thing to do? Let the late team (which is not mean to be late but because of an outlawed run back) to try their project and grant success if successful, or disqualify them because the seconds of lateness has made which according to rule, does sound correct. If it is you, how you are going to decide, do you think professor gave the right decision to this team? Right or Wrong, Make your choice.
