SF Robot Policy Hackathon Pitched: Teleop on YAM, Real-Hardware Scoring, Prize Robot
paigeinsf · x · 2026-09-17
A proposal is gauging interest in an SF robot policy hackathon: teams would collect teleoperation demonstrations on a YAM robot, train policies, and evaluate them on real hardware using task-level scoresheets. The potential prize is a YAM robot plus a demo slot at YC. The poster asks which track people would enter and invites tagging builders.
