A better aprouch (IMHO):
1.-Distribute a standard benchmarking program.
2.-Benchmark results are sent to the server/game administrator, identified
by
a user (robot) key password (so you can't lie).
3.-Robot performance is  handicapped by the benchmark test.

Now everyone can have a fair participation.
