But rather than sit in limbo, UMD's team has decided to push forward in building up its membership and pitching designs. Left without any specific guidelines, though, the team must be prepared for anything. Nil Patel, a junior aerospace major, stands outside of Institute for Physical Science Technology — the building where UMD Loop meets, and where active team members spend at least 90% of their time. Nil leads one of the Loop subteams. A dingy hallway runs through the basement of IPST, leading to the room where members of the University of Maryland's Hyperloop team meet to ...
