Not-a-Boring Competition | Elon Musk Competion
Competition encourages innovation
Elon Musk has launched the competition "Not-A-Boring Competition" with the motto - "Let's beat the snail". The goal of the Boring Company and the competition is to build the tunnel infrastructure needed for fast, safe and comfortable transportation, including Loop and Hyperloop. In order to achieve this, innovative solutions must first be developed that increase the TBM speed and reduce tunnel costs.
Let's beat the snail
Hosted by The Boring Company, the competition challenges teams around the world to drill a 30 m long and 50 cm wide tunnel as fast and precise as possible. But that's not all. According to the motto, the drilling robot to be developed is supposed to exceed the speed of a garden snail of 3 m/h. This would be 10 times faster than the current market average of a tunnel boring machine.
Out of almost 400 applicants, 12 teams are still competing for victory. The winner will be determined during the final 2021 in the Mojave Desert of California. Matthias Klug supports the competition:
At SEALABLE, too, we know that competing and competition improving products constantly. That is why we are always willing to promote and demand to innovate, because standstill is not one of our principles.
We are proud to be able to support the two, from our point of view, strongest teams in the competition.
Diese Teams unterstützen wir:
We wish the two Teams success in developing and constructing their tunnel drill, as well as to be participating in the final.
May the better win!
Matthias Klug, Managing Partner
