Individual skill
rss-experiments
Use when designing or auditing the experimental campaign for an RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) paper — hypothesis-shaped robot experiments, trial protocols and per-condition counts, mechanism-isolating ablations, simulation-versus-hardware evidence splits, and failure attribution that supports a scientific claim rather than a demo reel.

# RSS Experiments
Design experiments that *test the paper's claim*, not experiments that showcase the
system. At RSS the evaluation section is where the scientific claim either becomes
falsifiable or is exposed as marketing.
## Start from the claim, derive the conditions
Write the claim, then derive what evidence its logical form demands:
| Claim form | Evidence the form demands |
|---|---|
| "X causes the improvement" | Ablation removing only X; everything else frozen |
| "the gain transfers" | Held-out tasks/objects/platforms named *before* running |
