Visit http://www.robotbattle.com/ and see the game that spawned from
that idea. It has moved along way now. If you get in now, you might be
able to score a free copy before it's first commercial release.
I am one of the guys who runs a Robotbattle competetion, so don't be
afraid to join the RB mailing list and drop a few lines.
Cheers,

Looks really good! Is it "real time" or turn based?
I'd rather be able to program my bot as I like, then tell the control
program what it does, as opposed to using some scripting language that might
not be powerful enough for my bot idea. In other words, there needs to be an
arena API (like the PixelBot project) where I can use my own programming
language (whether C, C++, Java, EU) to construct a bot...
