Phase 1 (Hello World)

This simple check encourages teams to start early and is a means to identify technical issues with the simulation environment. The goal of this phase is for teams to demonstrate the ability to run the VORC simulation environment locally, on their own computers, and to demonstrate early prototype solutions to the VORC tasks.

Video Deliverable

The deliverable for this stage of VORC is an online video. The content of the video is intentionally open-ended. We encourage you to think creatively about how you present your current status. The only requirement is that your video demonstrate that your team has been able to setup the VORC environment locally. To take it to the next level, we suggest teams consider including more information about their status and to show off what they have been able to achieve. Consider the submission a highlight video of your team's status.

Videos should be limited to no more than 5 minutes in length.

Preparing your system

Submission process

In the spirit of prototyping, we ask that teams submit the link to their video using the same process you will use to submit your solutions in future phases of the challenge. Please see the submission process wiki for detailed instructions.

We expect to receive a single file from each competitor:

  • video_link.txt: Contains only the URL to the team's online video submission

Important dates

Date Description
2020, November 23, 23:59 PT Deadline for submitting your video
2020, November 24, 23:59 PT Deadline for submitting a correction

Note: We'll allocate an extra day in the schedule (November 24) for fixing any problems related with the content of video_link.txt (e.g.: A typo writing the URL of the video). Teams are not allowed to modify the video after the deadline on November 23.
