SpaceX declared MIT the winner of today’s Hyperloop competition

Thousands of engineers from colleges and high schools from across the world gathered at Texas A&M University in College Station on Saturday to compete for a chance to test their pod designs on Elon Musk’s own Hyperloop test track later this year. MIT’s team was awarded the top prize, but twenty-two teams will be testing their pod designs on the test track in Hawthorne, California later this year, with as many as ten more teams potentially going on to test their designs depending on how they fair after further judging in the coming weeks.
