The objective of the competition is to develop the world’s fastest tunnel boring machine, in order to facilitate the infrastructure necessary for the Hyperloop. The teams had to drill a 30m by 50cm wide tunnel as quickly and as accurately as possible.Yesterday was the first day of the #notaboringcompetition !

Many of the teams had quite a big list of sponsors from transportation industry internationally. Swissloop Tunneling sponsors listed below. Not a small scaled or boring endeavor whatsoever.
