  We argue for the value of publishing the exact code, configuration and data
processing scripts used to produce empirical work in robotics. In particular,
we recommend publishing a unique identifier for the code package in the paper
itself, as a promise to the reader that this is the relavant code. We review
some recent discussion of best practice for reproducibility in various
professional organisations and journals, and discuss the current reward
structure for publishing code in robotics, along with some ideas for
improvement.
