The teams were tasked with developing a pod to travel down the 1.2-kilometer (0.75-mile) tube, as part of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk\u2019s vision for a futuristic, high-speed transportation system. The pod that reached the maximum speed would be crowned the winner. The only other requirement was that all pods be self-propelled. In addition to WARR, the other qualifying teams were Delft University from the Netherlands and EPF Loop from Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/7\/22\/17601280\/warr-hyperloop-pod-competition-spacex-elon-musk\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/7\/22\/17601280\/warr-hyperloop-p...-elon-musk<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a hyperloop hat trick by a team of German engineering students at the third annual SpaceX pod competition on Sunday.
