Use when judging whether a robotics project fits RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems), the single-track selective venue whose bar is a scientific claim about robotics, and when routing instead toward ICRA, IROS, CoRL, HRI, WAFR, T-RO, or IJRR based on claim type, evidence shape, and audience.

# RSS Topic Selection

Decide whether the project belongs at RSS before any writing starts. RSS is the
deliberately small, single-track robotics conference run under the RSS Foundation:
every accepted paper is presented to the entire audience, so the program committee
selects for work the whole field should hear about. That structure creates the venue's
distinctive question, and this skill applies it.

## The one question RSS asks

**What does this paper claim about robotics — as science — that was not known before?**

- A property proved about a class of planners; a measured bottleneck the community
  misattributed; a representation whose suitability for robot data is argued and then
