We need some webspace to make that happen though. I wonder if this would be a neat function to add to the LMHoF website. Maybe make it something fun to do with your mech while you visit?
I have some webspace that we can develop and test the initial software on.
I can't really imagine the initial server load would be too heavy.
Adding it to the LMHof is a great idea.

First, I think that the majority of Mech are armed but I think the project

someone like Eric could design a peaceful Mech and still have it rated.

Agreed. A small Mech should be able to score just as high as a z40.

really have an answer yet.
