Task 0 — Submission

Plagiarism check

All submitted files are checked using plagiarism software. Any plagiarised submission may result in team disqualification.

What You Are Submitting

One result file, on the eYRC portal. Nothing on this documentation site is a submission — the P Controller page is where you go to find your Kp value, not to submit it.

#	What	Where	Marks
1	Installation + Kp result — NV#<team_id>.json	Portal	100

See Grading below for exactly what each of those 100 marks depends on.

Submission Procedure

1. Install the evaluation tool

pip3 install -U eyantra-autoeval

If the command is not found afterwards, pip installed it into ~/.local/bin, which is not on your PATH:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

2. Tune your Kp value

Part of this task’s score comes from a number you choose yourself: the proportional gain Kp of a P controller.

Open the P Controller page and use the interactive slider there to see how different Kp values drive the simulated robot. Tune it until you find the best value (Note: It will never follow the line perfectly, but you have to look for best one), and note it down. You’ll be asked for this exact number in the next step.

3. Upload your installation result

Run the evaluation. Nothing else needs to be running for this one:

eyantra-autoeval evaluate --year 2026 --theme NV --task 0

Partway through, it will pause and ask you to enter your Kp value — type the number you tuned to on the P Controller page and press Enter. Once it finishes, it writes a file such as result-2026-NV-0-20250904.json into whichever directory you ran it from. A successful run looks like this:

Rename it to NV#<team_id>.json — so team 1455 uploads NV#1455.json — then upload it on the eYRC Portal — Task 0.

The filename is part of the submission

The name must be exactly NV#<team_id>.json — capital N, capital V, a hash, your team ID, then .json. The installation mark is binary, so a file the portal cannot match by name scores the same as no submission at all.

Grading

This task is graded out of 100 marks, from the single result file in Step 3. Both rows below come from that one file — there’s nothing else to submit.

Component	Marks	What you do	When	Value used	Where it’s submitted
Installation	80	Install Miniconda + CoppeliaSim, then run the evaluator	Step 3	Detected automatically — SUCCESS = full marks, FAILED = zero, no partial credit	NV#<team_id>.json on the portal
Kp value	20	Tune Kp on the P Controller page	Step 2, before running the evaluator	Whatever you type at the tool’s prompt in Step 3	Same NV#<team_id>.json
