Student engineering / physical prototype
Hyperloop Pod
A competition pod built by a multidisciplinary student team at the Technical University of Munich.
← Return to city1. What it was
WARR Hyperloop built a physical pod for SpaceX's international student competition. The work connected mechanical, electrical, control, testing, and track constraints in one system.
2. My part
Team member. Public material verifies the team's result; this page deliberately does not overstate an individual contribution.
3. Decisions
- Treat the pod as one integrated system rather than a collection of isolated subsystems.
- Design around testing, safety, and the constraints of a real competition track.
- Keep the public account anchored to verifiable team results.
4. Outcome
The TUM team won the first competition and recorded the fastest run in the final.
