Practice the ROS2 The TF Storm coding problem in Incident Response. Browser-based execution with automated grading — no local ROS install required. 0% of engineers pass this challenge.

⚠️ System Alert

Navigation is erratic. Sometimes works, sometimes drifts. No code changes in 3 days. Issue correlates with system load.

What you know

  • Robot navigates correctly under low load
  • Under high CPU load, robot drifts unpredictably
  • No code deployments in 3 days
  • ros2 run tf2_tools view_frames shows a clean tree — but only sometimes

What you don't know

  • Why load causes navigation errors
  • Whether there is a TF conflict

Your task

Find and fix the TF frame conflict causing erratic navigation under load.

Incident Response format: No description of what's wrong. Probe, hypothesize, fix.
