Phase 2 (Final)

For the VORC 2020 Phase 2, teams will submit a single system designed to solve each of the four VORC 2020 tasks. Please refer to the Competition Rules and Technical Details for a detailed breakdown of each task, the environmental envelope, scoring, etc.

Preparing your submission

To participate in the VORC, teams must:

  • Develop a virtual autonomous system that solves the tasks.
  • Create a Docker image that runs the autonomous system.
  • Upload the Docker image to a DockerHub repository.
  • Follow the submission instructions below.

Follow this tutorial for instructions about how to create your own Docker image.

Submission process

We expect to receive from each team a single file:

  • The file should be named dockerhub_image.txt
  • It should contain the name of a Docker image to be pulled from DockerHub.
  • For example, if the Dockerhub repository is teamdockerhubrepo, the image name is phase2solution and the tag is final the contents of dockerhub_image.txt would simply be teamdockerhubrepo/phase2solution:final.

See the submission process section in the wiki for instructions about how to submit this file.

Important: Private DockerHub repositories

  • If you are using a private DockerHub repository, please grant access to the virtualrobotx DockerHub user so we can access your solution.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Once you submit the pull request, the VORC technical team will check that your DockerHub image is accessible by the virtualrobotx DockerHub user.
  • If it is accessible, the pull request will be merged.

Important dates

Date Description
2020, December 7, 0:00 PST Phase 2 submission window opens
2020, December 11, 23:59 PST Phase 2 submission window closes

Submission Window

Only one submission is permitted; however, during the submission window the VORC technical team will make all reasonable efforts to check that submissions are functioning properly and can be run in the competition environment.

  • The intent of the window is to allow teams to correct errors in the submission format that might prevent the evaluation of their solution.
  • In the event of a submission error, teams will be notified and given the opportunity to correct the error up to the end of the submission window.
  • To allow sufficient time to identify and remove such errors, teams are encouraged to submit toward the beginning of the window.

Late Submissions

As a rule, late submissions will not be accepted. All teams must submit the required file within the submission window. The technical team does reserve the right to accept late submissions if the submission was delayed due to unforeseen problems with the submission process. Acceptance of any submissions after the December 11 deadline will be at the discretion of the VORC Technical Team.
