Gatorloop is the University of Florida's entry into the Hyperloop competition sponsored by SpaceX. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, intends Hyperloop to be the future of human transportation: incredibly fast (up to 750 mph, making a 6 hour commute into a 30 minute ride) and highly efficient (powered by solar energy). The competition focuses on the design of the transport pod itself, and out of 1500 teams worldwide, we are one of the 22 teams who have made it through to the final round! In late summer we'll be traveling out to SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, CA, to test our pod on the one mile test track.
