Waterloop

Waterloop is a student engineering team competing in the Hyperloop Pod competition hosted by SpaceX. Our team is made up of ambitious and determined first to fourth year students that believe this project can change the future of transportation. After placing in the top 22 teams at Texas A&M University in February, Waterloop has advanced to the final round of the competition. Each advancing team will build their pod and test it in Hawthorne, California this upcoming summer. This final round is composed of 31 teams out of 1200+ that had first entered the competition.
