Would you guys join a competion like this:
The idea is simple, 2 robots battle it out to the death (or..........shutdown....)in an arena. There are set variables:

speed
turnspeed
melee weapon
ranged weapon
health
ranged weapon speed
ect....

The robots are exactly the same and the only thing that decided how they win is the AI that the competiters program. They send there robots to a host who has them battle, maby the programmers could log on and watch or something. You could spice it up with traps in the arena and stuff. Just a suggestion.

I discriminate against discriminating people....

I like the idea. Okay so it needs fine tuning but I think the overall concept would work. Maybe not as a serious competition but it would be fun to spend time coding a bots ai and then seeing how it competes against others.

As Frozen Flame points out, there are a few details that need to be finalised but I'm sure you realise this. As a basic idea I like it and would love to see it go further.

First you'd need to make the actual game engine. Here's how I picture it:
The game engine (made in DBP) connects to the server. You code the robots in a scripted language. You load the AI script from the actual game, and then just watch the fight with other people's bots. Before you can start this competition, you have a whole engine to code. Have fun.

Gamedev also had a competition like this except the Gamedev people wrote all the code for the game, and your AI just had to plug into it. It might be the same competition uwdesign posted a link to, I dont know.
