works with caveats

Caveats
- The WidowX result is an appendix experiment: OpenVLA-OFT (without FiLM) trained on all of BridgeData V2 and evaluated on a subset of OpenVLA's Bridge tasks (69.2% vs. 65.8% for OpenVLA).
- The openvla-oft repo ships fine-tuning and evaluation code only for LIBERO and ALOHA. It has no Bridge/WidowX config, deployment script or released WidowX checkpoint.

OpenVLA-OFT paper, Appendix (Scaling up to BridgeData V2): OFT is trained on BridgeData V2 and evaluated on real WidowX tasks from OpenVLA's evaluation suite, scoring 69.2% on average vs. 65.8% for OpenVLA.
“Specifically, we train OpenVLA-OFT (without FiLM) on the BridgeData V2 dataset [52], which contains 50,365 real WidowX robot demonstrations (25× more than the four LIBERO task suites combined).”

openvla-oft README points to LIBERO and ALOHA for fine-tuning/evaluation. experiments/robot at this commit contains only aloha/ and libero/.
“See [ALOHA.md](ALOHA.md) for fine-tuning/evaluating on real-world ALOHA robot tasks.”

BridgeData V2 was collected on a WidowX 250.
