Ooo - robot fighting! I'm good at this one!
There's a very good robot program out there already. It's like many that I'm sure you've all tried, but the fighting/racing/whatever is in full 3D and you construct a robot, not by usual programming, but by wiring up a series of components with different triggered events.
It's called mindrover, if anyone wants to check it out. Just head over to
http://www.mindrover.com and perhaps download the trial. I wouldn't mind getting some DB-forumer tournaments going with it!
Of course, if anyone has the time and is willing to make a DB robot program, I'd be happy to join in!
