Formalizing awards for RMRC

[Raymond Sheh]

Hi All!


We're in the final stretch before the competition!

Given that the lineup of tests has been adjusted for this year, we just
wanted to outline the new mapping between tests and the various awards
for RMRC, just so there are no surprises. Please do let us know if you
have any questions or concerns!


With 7 registered teams this year, we get 2 trophies. These will be for
first and second place, as determined by the finals.

The remaining awards will be certificates (I understand they are digital
this year to minimize printing). These will be for the following awards.

3rd place:
As determined by the finals.

Open Source and Innovation Award:
Based on the Updated TDM, the team who contributed most to the open
source and innovation of the competition as a whole.

Dexterity:
The highest combined normalized score in the following tests.
- Keypad Omni
- Linear Rail Pick
- Linear Rail Inspect

Sensor test:
The highest combined normalized score in the following tests.
- Sensor Cabinet
- Labyrinth - Flat
- Labyrinth - K-Rails

Mobility/Maneuvering:
The highest combined normalized score in the following tests.
- Incline and Center - Horizontal
- Incline and Center - Inclined
- Sand and Gravel
- Ramps on Crossover Slope - Continuous Ramps
- Ramps on Crossover Slope - Pinwheel Ramps
- Elevated Ramps
- Stairs
- Align
- K-Rails - Horizontal
- K-Rails - Crossover Slope
- Hurdles - Single Layer
- Hurdles - Double Layer

Autonomy (replaces Exploration):
The highest combined normalized score in all tests where autonomy is
used. Note that the normalization for this calculation should be re-done
excluding non-autonomous runs (e.g., so for a given test, the highest
autonomous run should score 100, even if a teleop run scored higher).

Rapidly Manufactured Robot Team Challenge:
As determined by the team challenge.


Cheers!
