Not-a-Boring-Competition 2024 Day 6: 📢
On the sixth day, the team completed the last tests of our subsystems, e.g. an erosion foam generator and a tunnel lining extrusion test, and moved the whole machine from its stands next to our tent to the platform in the starting pit.

00:00- Not-a-Boring-Competition 2024 Day 2: 📢 The second day started with the arrival of our main container. Today, we focused on getting the already fully assembled machine to a state that allows testing of the subsystems. Throughout the day, the team passed various safety checks.
- Not-a-Boring-Competition 2024 Day 3: 📢 The third day of the competition was filled with more safety checks. A huge milestone was reached when the whole machine passed all the mechanical safety checks. Our electrical engineers worked to complete the electrical installations.
- Not-a-Boring-Competition 2024 Day 4: 📢 On the fourth day of the competition, a big effort was put on the electrical system. The cooling system of our tunnel lining component was successfully tested. Furthermore, the slurry system of our erosion subsystem was upgraded.
- Not-a-Boring-Competition 2024 Day 1 📢 Today, our smaller container arrived in the early afternoon. We also dut the pit from which the machine will start on the competition day on Sunday (March 31st). Finally, the team successfully passed the "Mining Readiness Review (MRR)".

00:00 - What a day! 7/7 done - stay tuned, we will shortly announce the results 😎🔥 📸: @janickentremont #engineering #finale #elonmusk #notaboringcompetition
- Breakthrough! We're currently in the middle of our testing phase. We’ve successfully tested our erosion mechanism, but we still have a long way and much more testing to go. The testing allows us to further improve our machine in order to get ready for the upcoming competitions.🚀
