WAND-TV (Decatur, Ill., Aug. 21) -- The Illini Hyperloop team showed off their finished hyperloop pod to a Quad Day crowd on the Illinois campus. "This team came together a year ago and it's amazing to me what they have been able to accomplish. there are many things that they did not talk about in this design that are worthy of patents and they are working on patenting some of that material" said Andreas Cangellaris, Dean of the College of Engineering. The group will be using the pod to compete in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition in January.
