FlyRace

A browser time-trial racer that was meant to have a connectome-driven opponent and ships without one, which is the point. The project set a pre-registered gate before any training was allowed to start: could an ordinary image network, given any of ten camera and sensor arrangements, predict hard braking well enough on courses it had not seen? None of the ten passed, so the gate closed and the recorded negative result names every score and notes that none of the three budgeted training runs was spent. The fly brain panel survives only as an untrained exhibit, and no fly opponent is planned.
