CANADIAN HYPERLOOP CONFERENCE
The Canadian Hyperloop Conference is an annual conference dedicated to expanding the technologies and plans required for a working Hyperloop pod and track. Participants in this competition may choose to enter competitions in track demonstration or pod technology showcase, or both. In the track demonstration portion of the competition, participants are required to transport their pod to the test track site and demonstrate the full operations of their entire hyperloop pod. In the technology showcase portion of the competition, teams present a sub-system or feature of general hyperloop technologies rather than a fully complete hyperloop pod.
Gatorloop is expected to participate at the Canadian Hyperloop Conference in May 2023.

Spacex hyperloop pod competition (2017)
The competition focuses on the design of the transport pod itself. Out of 1500 teams competing worldwide our first year, we were one of the 22 teams to make it through to the final round! On January 2017, we traveled out to SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, CA, to perform tests on our pod.
We were in the 3rd stage of the competition, with fewer than 50 teams remaining in the 2019 season. Our goal is to be the amongst the top U.S. teams, showcasing true Florida and American engineering talent.
