Robotics A: pick-and-place action timeline (pair)

Too easy: a strong agent scored 0.5. A short two-clip rollout can't carry the difficulty.

The ask

Two pick-and-place rollouts (ExylosAi/pick_and_place_sample, 1280×960); report grasp time, release time, and success for each.

Ground truth[logged]

The robot's logged gripper actuator channel plus the logged next.success flag. The dataset's own annotations.json is WRONG (it labels episode_000025 a slip-drop failure; the logs and the video show it succeeds). Never trust dataset video labels; use the logs.

Scorer

Deterministic, pure-stdlib comparison against the logged signals.

The lesson

The agent timed the release to 0.07 s but missed the grasp moment. Comparison pairs of short clips are exempt from the 10–300 min length floor.
