So a while ago when the hyperloop college senior contest thing concluded I made the remark that the winning design was both slow and incapable of carrying anything. Which tod222 followed up by pointing out that they had also dropped the air bearing/pneumatic propulsion part as well (which was the only mostly novel thing about the idea in the first place) and had just made a maglev in a tube then went to on say "It wouldn't surprise me if the tube disappeared in the next iteration". So here we are.
