Robots, 3D printers, Hyperloop pod: New MakerSpace opens at NYU Tandon
Will boost Brooklyn's 'innovation economy'
Computer engineering student Matt Cocca plugged a cable into a tabletop pneumatic piston.
“This is a braking system for the Hyperloop pod,” he told this reporter.
Cocca and his fellow engineering students are competing to design and build the best Hyperloop (a super-fast ground transport system) pod in a contest sponsored by Elon Musk and SpaceX, he explained.
