I have updated the links to the practice worlds in these two tutorials.
@M1chaelM , could you double-check the tutorials please?
The numbers have been changed, but the resulting sentences are confusing:
To help you prepare, we will provide an updated Phase 2 Task Practice tutorial and practice worlds for VRX 2023. These are under development. However, the Phase 2 Task Practice tutorial and example worlds for VRX 2023 may provide a useful starting point. The example worlds provided will be representative of the task configurations and environmental conditions specified in the task documentation.
I can update this. Are we planning to release more practice worlds later? Or is this it?
I will also fix the links, which are pointing to the wrong tutorial now.
This turned out to be a bit of a rabbit hole. There was no Phase 2 Task Practice tutorial for VRX 2023, so I created one from a copy of VRX 2022. However, the 2022 tutorial had links to a page for each task that described the features of each practice world (0, 1, and 2) for that task:
Practice World Details
Task 1: Stationkeeping Practice Worlds
Task 2: Wayfinding Practice Worlds
Task 3: Perception Practice Worlds
Task 4: Wildlife Practice Worlds
Task 5: Gymkhana Practice Worlds
Task 6: Scan and Dock and DeliverPractice Worlds
I looked through these and I'm not sure how much value they add, mostly because the descriptions are very generic copy/paste job. For now, I'm just going to remove the links. @caguero and @j-herman what do you think? Would it be useful to do something like this for the 8 VRX 2023 tasks? Alternately, we could also just have a table or something that summarizes all the worlds for all tasks.
Oh, we also need to add this tutorial to our tutorials menu somewhere to avoid the hidden tutorial maze problem.

I don't plan to add more practice worlds.
OK, I think the tutorials are fixed now.
I did a pass on the tutorials. They look good to me after fixing a few things.
We ported the 2022 practice worlds from VRX Classic to VRX 2.0+ and put them in the
vrx_gz/worlds/2022_practice/
directory. While working on VRX 2023, we have updated these worlds and added to them so the name is increasingly misleading.To resolve this we need to rename the
2022_practice
directory to2023_practice
, and rename all thesdf
files stored in the directory so they start with the prefixpractice_2023
instead ofpractice_2022
. We then need to update the phase 2 and phase 3 tutorials to refer to the 2023 practice worlds.
