battle bots

Not to be completely off-topic, but my brother somewhat participated in
a similar contest.  the only difference was it was with "real" bots.
the purpose was to create a bot which could place tires on a tiered
rotating rack.  three bots competed at a time and the _only_ goal was
the placement of tires.  the prollem was the contest was
no-holds-barred.  so my brother and his team spent 3 months building a
robot which had minimal tire placement ability, but maximum opponent
destructions capability.  as a result, they practically ruined the whole
competition.  they ripped one of the top competitors in half.

i guess my point is, battlin' bots is one thing, but clever bots is
sumthin' entirely different.
