The Diggeridoos

The Diggeridoos were initially founded in September 2020 following the announcement of The Boring Company’s Not-a-Boring Competition. Shortly thereafter, we began to organize and embark on creating a conceptual design for a small-scale boring machine (TBM). Through trial and error, we successfully developed a detailed final design that gained the approval of The Boring Company. Out of nearly 400 applicants, our concept was narrowed down to twelve teams issued to compete in the 2021 competition. In that competition, we were rewarded with the fastest launch design in the world. Recently, in 2024, the competition intensified as only five teams returned. A huge milestone was reached as we dug for the first time, becoming the first team in North America to do so. As we gear up for the future, our team will continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible in tunneling technology!
