Reset Issues - Robot moves after homing before cable is spawned
A timing error causes robots to move before cables spawn, breaking evaluations.
Deep Dive
In the AI for Industry Challenge, a user reported that their robot sometimes moves before the cable can spawn correctly, appearing like an old state — but they are not sure. They asked if others have experienced similar issues during evaluation, noting that the problem does not occur when the scene is spawned directly.
Key Points
- Robots move to an old state before cable spawns during evaluation, causing misalignment.
- Issue does not occur when spawning the scene directly, indicating an environment-specific bug.
- Forum thread suggests a race condition between robot homing and cable initialization in the competition's simulator.
Why It Matters
For competitors relying on reproducible runs, this glitch undermines evaluation fairness and wastes time debugging environment quirks.
