For all you alumni out there, SpaceX revealed a cool design competition for teams of college level and up engineers to design pods for the proposed "Hyperloop" transportation system.
Official page can be found here (http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop).
I was surprised to do a quick search and see nothing about it. One of my friends at RIT is intent on starting a team, and I've been reading up on the whole project for about an hour now.
Who is thinking about competing?
I know for some of us, the presentation date might be the hardest thing to overcome!
1/9/2016- In-person design weekend with all entrants. Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.
However, the application is real and fascinating and you've got six weeks after kickoff to help build robots too.
Thoughts?
