Robotour Marathon 2020
testing challenge III.
Robotour Marathon is a discipline helping teams to prepare to hard Robotour contest held typically in September. The first marathon confirmed that the best 3 teams already participated and tested their robots in complex environments. Second year monthly scoring scheme was introduced. Any plans for 2020? (Update 14/1/2021: Robotour mini-conference online (2021-02-03 17:30-19:00))
Rules
The rules for Robotour Marathon 2020 are similar to Robotour itself. The
robot has to demonstrate its ability to autonomously navigate on paved roads
without any human intervention.
It can be any road mapped in OpenStreetMap.
The main difference is that it is your challenge, performed when it
suits to you and where it suits to you. Well, you are also the judge,
which can be a bit awkward, but … pick a place, run your Robotour
code and share your video with the robot GPS track. The winner is robot
autonomously driving the longest distances over the year.

Questions and Answers
When the Marathon contest starts?
The contests starts now (October 2019) and it ends a day before the next
Robotour contest (September 2020) 31st December 2020.
Are multiple tries/submissions allowed?
Yes, definitely! The better one is kept in the score table (the old ones
are stored in backlog).
Is beer keg required in Marathon?
No, it is not. Nevertheless it is highly recommended to test with your payload
once a while.
Is there any time limit?
No, in this contest there is no time limit. The robot,
which manages to move further away, is better than the faster robot.
Video should be from robot or from mobile phone?
Both is accepted as robots do not have to be equipped with camera. You can
publish both and add the second URL in the comment. You can also speed up the
video.
Is there any naming convention for uploaded video?
It is highly recommended to use Robotour Marathon together with the name of
your team (for example Robosoft: Robotour Marathon 2020, attempt 0)
I submitted my video and GPS track but the form just gray out?!
There could be some issues with the form, so if you do not receive confirmation
within 24 hours, please send also mail to webmaster-at-robotika.cz. I am
sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Can I pause my robot in dangerous situations and then continue?
Yes, you can exceptionally pause your robot. The example of dangerous situation
is approaching horses, which could be scared by your robot, or a car on the
road where you do not expect it.
What is Monthly Scoring Scheme?
By the end of every month the order defines number of points the team gets, and
the next month starts with empty table. For example, if you have the longest
try in October 2019 and there were 5 other competitors you get 5+1 points. Even
for the last position in the given month you get 1 point.

V case 4:00 som omylom vypnul nahravanie na mobil a spustil po par
sekundach, ale presiel z jednej strany parku na druhu a na konci presiel
cez kocku a vypadlo napajanie Jetsona

Test navigace po cestě a částečná procedura pro Robotour. Od startu (v
servisní oblasti) po zastavení u nakládacího bodu.

Testovanie sme museli ukončiť kvôli vybitým batériám, ale odporúčam
nevynechať časť od 4:03 do 4:35

Pri testovani sme sme spravili jeden okruh. Potom som chcel aby isiel cez
stred parku, ale bohuzial sa robot mal inu predstavu. Tak neskor v case 8:50 sa
otaca a ide naspat po tej iste trase:
- 2:03 - 2:11 Robotovi sa nepacia listy a rozhodne sa trocha cuvat.
- 6:28 - 7:19 Boj s napadanym listim v jednej casti parku.
- 7:53 Mal odbocit do lava, ale nepodarilo sa mu to.
- 7:58 Zistil ze je na zlej ceste.
- 8:07 Snazi sa prvy krat otocit a vratit sa na krizovatku.
- 8:50 Robot sa uspesne otaca.
- 9:14 Vracia sa na problemovu krizovatku, ale zase sa mu nedari najst spravnu cestu.
- 9:17 Blizke stretnutie tretieho druhu s chodcom.
- 9:30 Konecne sa vyskrabe na kopcek! Ale zase sa mu nieco nepaci a nacuvava do murika = Koniec pokusu.
