When we were doing the project we didn't intentionally follow any set guidelines. We threw ideas at one another until we found one that everyone was satisified with. Looking at the planning process I can say that we did follow steps 3 to step 5.
Defining the objective was bypassed due to the objective was given by the instructor: make a device that would protect your egg, if dropped ten feet into a container.
When someone would give an idea of the device they wanted to build, the team would look at the idea from all angles to see if the device would actually accomplish the task of protecting the egg. Then everyone decided on a course of action, to tape the straws together, then attach it to the egg. They then demonstrated and tested the device to see if it would work,(meaning sustain the egg without falling apart). The end result the device worked.

My team pretty much did the same thing we thought of ideas together and came to a conclusion in the design. We had excellent team work but unfortunately our egg didnt surive. Congrats I guess your team had a better strategy.
It looks like your team had great chemistry and cooperation since everyone was giving the chance to voice his/her opinion about the design for the egg. And because of that, you were one of two groups whose egg did not crack during the testing phase. The taping of the straws together was a great idea but do I feel it might have caused a few people to think that was cheating because you didn’t actually drop the egg itself from 10 feet. On the other hand, your mission was to make sure the egg didn’t crack during the testing phase.
