students and independent engineering teams, to design and build the best Hyperloop pod. To support this competition, SpaceX will construct a one-mile test track adjacent to our Hawthorne, California headquarters. [...] The knowledge gained here will continue to be open-sourced.” From http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop
some other crowdsourced product ★ Different project management ★ Involves Microwork ★ Requires more involvement and at longer term ★ Less accessible ★ Can be itself problematic: prototype testing, etc Engineering and stuff But access to a lot of brainpower !
more than 50 countries since our inception Self funded prototype manufacturing through successful crowdfunding campaign and strategic partnerships ★ Pod Innovation Award, SpaceX ★ Best Non-Student Design, SpaceX ★ Best Hyperloop Design, Drama, and Excitement BuildEarthLive & Dubai Future Foundation ★ Next Big Thing, Basware & IndieGoGo The time to revolutionize transportation and bring the world closer together is here, and rLoop is making it a reality.
