SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition Design Weekend hosted by Texas A&M University was widely considered a resounding success — and not just because the Aggies had one of the winning teams and figured prominently in the overall winning team or that SpaceX founder Elon Musk made a surprise visit to the delight of the 1,000-plus students participating. Twenty-two student teams are heading to California this summer to test their design prototype at the world’s first Hyperloop Test Track. More than 115 student engineering teams representing 27 U.S. states and 20 countries were on hand to present their plans and were judged on a variety of criteria, including innovation and uniqueness of design; full Hyperloop system applicability and economics; level of design detail; strength of supporting analysis and tests; feasibility for test tract competition; and quality of documentation and presentation.
