We ultimately chose to pursue the column design due largely to the simplicity of fabrication and decreased likelihood of line entrapment.

Ultimately, to increase the safety factor, we chose to increase reduce the cut width by a factor of 2. Simulation results are below.
Flight 1
Due to manufacturing constraints, only 4 of the mass saving cuts were implemented. This design did not fair well in shipping, future teams are suggested to place the diaphragm and a similar feature in the cup for travel.
