Abstract
The dynamite testbed has been constructed for experiments with autonomous mobile robots. It consists of a fleet of radio-controlled vehicles that receive commands from a remote computer. All the robots share an off-board vision system that tracks the position and orientation of each robot at 60 Hz. A novel aspect of this system is that computer vision is used not only for sensing the environment, but also for sensing the state of the robot itself. The former information is used for planning and the latter for control. The testbed has been used successfully for experiments with robot soccer games to compare the effectiveness of alternate control architectures. Testbed use is facilitated through a graphical simulator that allows control programs to be tested off-line at a workstation. The testbed has been developed to the point where we now have a portable version that has been demonstrated at a number of conferences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
