Hey MASA,
here is a detailed explanation of how we are planning to run the competition this year.
-
Before the round, we may ask teams to close(shut down / sleep) their computer to avoid making any additional changes to their code
-
(Preparation A) 10 minutes before the planned game time, we’ll invite the team to the preparation area next to the game area and allow them to open(boot/resume) their computer. During this period, the organizer should check the team will not make any changes to their code.
-
(Preparation B) 3 minutes before the planned game time, we’ll ask the team to connect their PC to the game network and ask them to set their robot JSON file via webUI. Then start their controller.
-
The maximum time limit for Prep A + B will be 10 minutes. Teams are not allowed to make any changes to their controller and the robot JSON file.
-
After the team’s preparation is completed, the judge will push the start button then the game will be started.
I hope this clears up any questions.
Important: This contradicts some information i gave in this thread. I apologize for this, as i was misinformed about the full procedure.
Best,
