Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the School Category competition

What if I get a Webots warning about physics step?

Reduce the basicTimeStep value under WorldInfo in the Scene Tree to a value between 8 and 16. This adjustment does not affect task execution time as submissions are evaluated with the same basicTimeStep.

How do I create a video for submission?

Use the built-in record button in Webots or screen recording software like OBS Studio to record your robot's performance.

Is video submission mandatory?

Yes, it is mandatory to verify robot performance consistency between local machines and evaluation computers. Discrepancies may lead to contact for instructions on Python/C++ versions, library versions, etc.
