Thank you to everyone who entered! 20 networks made it in, and the races start today. The format is in the bracket below.
Every round is on a new track that no network has seen before. The race settings are the same as in the entry form: one attempt, 1 lap, 200 cars per network, mutation 0.1 (size-normalized), weight decay 0, collision elimination off. Networks are ranked in the order they finish the lap. Networks that don't finish are ranked by how far they got.
Round 1 - top 4 out of 5 advance
Schedule
One round per day, videos on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. I'll post the next round here every day.
- Thu 1 Oct (today) - Round 1
- Fri 2 Oct - Round 2
- Sat 3 Oct - Round 3
- Sun 4 Oct - Round 4
