This article really needs an image of the cross-section of the Hypertube test track. Note that this is not the same as any of the original Hyperloop concept drawings (as currently in the article) as the Hypertube test track has a number of different features that are not, strictly speaking, pure Hyperloop, in order to encourage both greater freedom in the pod designs conceived by student teams for the competition, and also in order to better test specific Hyperloop subsystems that are not a part of a complete Hyperloop-compliant pod design.
This sort of image could be created from information/drawings in the <ref name=uw20160108>
source. Moreover, once the route becomes known, a plan view of the track in
Hawthorne, California near
SpaceX would be helpful. Adding a {reqimage} template.

I ginned up a quick and dirty image for the cross-section of the Hypertube prototype test track, and added it to the article. Have uploaded two versions to Wikimedia: one with English labels, and one without. Have added the one with labels, for now, to the article, since we haven't anything better. Removed the {reqimage} template from the Talk page; although I'm fine with someone adding it back if other think more/different images are required. Note to
Huntster and
Stepho Feel free to improve, fix, annotate, etc. Cheers.

Ne2, since you are the first and most prolific contributor, can you choose a date format for the references. The current mish-mash of formats will surely flag it as a fail for Did-you-know. Stepho talk 01:11, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
{{use dmy dates|date=January 2016}}
statement in the article. If I write the dates out, I always use that format. If I use a ref formatter (like, e.g.,
https://tools.wmflabs.org/makeref/) to create a citation, I just accept whatever format it gives.Just found this source ( http://hyperloop.tamu.edu/news-release-january-30-2016/) which provides a list of all the awards for the various subsystems. Many of these teams did not advance, but they won awards in the Jan 2016 competition that were apparently not covered by the press articles previously seen. Several more awards are from non-US teams and universities. Some of this could be used to improve the article. N2e ( talk) 04:14, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

There are three hyperloop test tracks in the design and planning stages. AECOM, a global infrastructure firm, has proposed to build a one-mile track in Los Angeles at the Musk’s SpaceX company headquarters. There is not enough space for this track particularly, so it may have to be built crossing streets and through surrounding buildings. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ also has plans to break ground on a 5-mile track in California’s Quay Valley by the end of this year. In addition, a startup company called Hyperloop Technologies Inc. plans to have another test track in North Las Vegas, Nevada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 13eccole ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Looking for new hits on Google with hyperloop pod competition hits from the past few weeks, ran into this team (Team Cheetah) focusing on wheeled concepts (which Musk did allow, in jan 2016, might be the best option for the nearterm; even though only one or two teams proposed such) and external compression (no rotating, in-line air-compressor as in Hyperloop alpha design doc). Not sure where it would fit in the article, so will leave the link here. N2e ( talk) 22:31, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
In order to obtain more info to improve the article, but only from verifiably sourced locations by Wikipedia standards, I have sent the following email to as many of the pod competition teams (those that are moving on to phase 2 ) as I can locate an email address for.
Not all teams have email addresses, some have Twitter or Facebook links only, so if someone else wants to ping them via those means, pointing them to a link to this Talk page section, that would no doubt get the invitation for sourced info on pods spread just a bit more widely.

rLoop is a non-profit, open-source, online think tank comprised of over 150+ members from diverse technical backgrounds representing more than 14+ countries working together to build a sub scale hyperloop pod named rPod, weighing almost 340 Kg, it is 3.8 meters long, 1.25 meters high and the aeroshell diameter is 1 meter. The pressure vessel in the rPod is made up of aerospace grade aluminum (AL 6061 T6) and it meets the commercial airline requirements of FAA, 14 CFR Part 25 Air Worthiness standards and has two dome style bulkheads for accommodating the non-vacuum rated components and the passenger dummy provided by SpaceX. The Aeroshell is made of vacuum compliant epoxy. rPod uses hover engines from ArxPax for levitation, They'll also be gimballed to provide thrust and braking. Albeit, the main braking system employs eddy current braking mechanism with a fail safe mechanism and an alignment system for Yaw control. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vandaso ( talk • contribs) 14:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

The team has its eyes set on winning the third-party design competition, but, perhaps more importantly, offers a new model for problem-solving, strategizing and stargazing.
Waterloop is a Canadian team of University of Waterloo students designing with a minimalist strategy and strict safety considerations, resulting in a reduction in the manufacturing complexity, cost and mass; while simultaneously permitting an effective travel speed and increased reliability. [1] Their 680kg pod is expected to maintain a cruising velocity of 9.8m/s and deliver a payload of 2300kg.

was invoked but never defined (see the
help page).With the addition of a new appropriately-wiki-licensed image of a pod in a single-tube track, I have used that image quickly as the best image we have. (It is of the Waterloop pod.) However, I think that image could use a crop, if someone is willing to do that in the next 12 hours or so, since THIS article Hyperloop pod competition will go live on the Wikipedia main page for half a day in 7 hours time (at 12 noon UTC on 14 March, or 8:00 am east coast US time).
I think a crop would make that image better as a the main image for the article, as it would remove some blurry detail, and give a larger pod when the image is sized as normal on the article page. Also, if someone is good at wiki-images, you might want to play with getting the whole thing to display a bit bigger than "thumb"nail size. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 04:47, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

BadgerLoop is the University of Wisconsin-Maidson's entrant into the Hyperloop Pod competition. Composed of over 120 undergraduate and graduate students, BadgerLoop is a non-profit, educational entity lead by a majority of undergraduates.
Using Halbach array magnetic levitation, the BadgerLoop pod is nearly 15 feet long, weighing about 700 kilograms, composed of 6061 aluminum, wrapped by a carbon fiber shell. The pod uses an eddy current braking scheme to come to a stop at the end of its run. At design weekend, BadgerLoop demonstrated their novel Halbach wheel control system, which provides the pod with propulsion along with active stability. The robust stability system - along with pods other systems- is controlled by an intricate and lightning fast controller area network (CAN).

The Hypertube test track specs have been slightly updated. New Rev 5, dated 18 Feb 2016, is now the only version that can be found at the link listed in the article where the Rev 4 version was formerly found. (In other words, I don't actually know of a valid link to get to the Rev 4 version any longer, even though the Rev 4 version was at the Badgerloop link URL when I downloaded it in early February).

Should this be mentioned? Someone did add rLoop to the Comp 2 list a week ago but unfortunately they're not competing due to this restriction. I believe they are exhibiting at Comp 2, though.
The official competition website alludes to this ("The competition will include new and returning student teams") but doesn't make this clear.

Should this be mentioned? Someone did add rLoop to the Comp 2 list a week ago but unfortunately they're not competing due to this restriction. I believe they are exhibiting at Comp 2, though.
The official competition website alludes to this ("The competition will include new and returning student teams") but doesn't make this clear.
I don't remember where I saw this rule explicitly stated but I can dig for a source if need be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathnerd3141 ( talk • contribs) 17:11, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
Competition Weekend 2 is next weekend; seems to start on the 25th of August.
The SpaceX Hyperloop website now has the teams posted. Looks like a lot of them: 25 approved as of April 2017. http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop
Looking for a list of which teams have actually come to to Hawthorne with a car that meets design safety specs and will race. N2e ( talk) 06:42, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
The MIT Hyperloop says they are out now. That's per this source:
https://twitter.com/MITHyperloop
MIT Hyperloop page on Twitter.
They've left a link to all of their documentation here. I'm guessing that will get mentioned in one of the reliable sources in the coming days, and we can improve the article then. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 01:29, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop is good for finding out what has just happened and what is coming up but the information it has gets updated frequently. So what it said last year isn't what it says next year - which makes it a lousy reference for WP. Stepho talk 10:32, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
The Competition II (August 2017) section has a large amount of speculative information, based on a source from four months prior to the August competition. Unless we can find better sources, I'll probably just delete the entire large table of speculative info; the part that begins after this statement:
The 24 selected teams planning to participate in the August 2017 competition as of April 2017 were:
Anyone have a better source on who actually competed in that competition? Cheers. N2e ( talk) 18:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
I just located the first secondary source for this years Hyperloop Pod Competition, the one going on in the US later today. I'll start to collect them here. Please add other good sources you find. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 19:53, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
