I’ve heard from several more teams (Space Elevator Team at UT, Recens, Team Rambo I \/ Team Telsa, Queens Space Elevator Racing Team, Lone Star and MIT) that they are NOT competing this year in the Climber \/ Power-Beaming competition (MIT will still be competing in the Tether competition).<\/p>\n
So, this is what I know so far:<\/p>\n
