# Phase 1: MVP Foundation (0-6 Months)

**Timeline & Scope**

Establish core infrastructure and validate product-market fit with education and early builder segments.

**Product Deliverables**

1. **Roba Studio V1**: ROS/Zenoh-native, browser-accessible physics simulator with 5-10 polished worlds
2. **Roba Creator Hub V1**: Model cards, versioning, asset repository with clear licensing
3. **Template Library**: Ready‑to‑run robotics pipelines, pick-and-place, Nav2 navigation, SLAM, perception, calibration and RL agents.
4. **Marketplace Alpha**: Curated directory with manual review and clear licensing presets
5. **Challenge Sprints**: Monthly competitions with measured benchmarks
6. **Education Pilots**: Campus bundles, course-aligned worlds, instructor kits, quickstart docs

**Token Launch: $ROBA Introduction**

1. **Token utility proven**: Marketplace payments live, challenge infrastructure validated
2. **Raise Details**: $375k @ $3M FDV, 33% unlock at TGE, remainder over 2 months
3. **Allocation**: \~29% to ecosystem & rewards, remainder to team, partners, reserve (see Appendix)
4. **Purpose**: Developer-first utility powering rewards, access, and reputation

**Token Role: $ROBA**

1. **$ROBA token** - redeemable for compute, courses, marketplace fees and more
2. **Reward Mechanism**: $ROBA token airdrops earned through challenge performance, merged contributions, verified bounties

**Challenge Tiers Active**

1. **Baseline Bounties**:

* Entry: 1% $ROBA deposits
* Cadence: Continuous, rolling deadlines
* Focus: Expand library (datasets, template refinements, sim environments)
* Safeguards: Automated duplication checks, forfeit deposits for invalid submissions

2. **Sprint Challenges (Basic & Proto)**:

* Entry: 5% $ROBA deposits (avg.)
* Duration: 3-4 weeks, monthly rotation
* Reward Split: 50% base pool, 40% leaderboard, 10% innovation bonus
* Themes: Navigation benchmarks, perception pipelines, SLAM optimization

**Utility Sinks**

1. Compute & simulation time access
2. Course enrollments and certification tracks
3. Marketplace fee reductions for active contributors
4. Premium template downloads

**Key Milestones & KPIs**

1. 30+ active course sections deployed
2. 800 monthly active developers
3. 100 curated assets published
4. <30 min onboarding time-to-first-success
5. 3-5 campus partnerships established
