Yes - I like this idea - equivalent to your deck in a CCG. Capturing pieces
might be a problem as it would be tough to remember exactly who owned what.
Your case could represent your base, or the remaining parts could be built
into a base. Instead of attacking other bots, you could directly attack the
base (perhaps you would first need to outmaneouvre the defending bots). If
you hit the base they lose pieces from it, and they are out of the game if
they run out. This would create an interesting game dynamic - if you spend
too many resources on bots, your base will be weak.

True. This highlights one of the problems a lot of people have with CCGs -
the better cards are harder to get hold of, and give an unfair advantage to
those who spend more money. If the parts were grouped this would be less of
a problem if e.g. any sticky out part could represent a gun. I can see
problems with certain parts though, like chainsaw blades - I've only ever
seen them in grey and trans orange.
It would be good if the game could extend easily to multiple players. Games
to me are about socialising as much as anything else.
