Although RCXWars could be cool if someone figured out how to cannibalize
defeated opponents. Kill the other RCX, steal a few parts, whoever has the
most scalps at the end wins. Heck, you would even have to 'kill' them, just
steal their 'scalp', which leaves them active, but with a software flag that
says it's been scalped. When there is only one remaining unscalped bot, the
game is over and you count how many scalps each has taken( and kept from
being stolen). Whoever has the most trophies wins.

So... Robot Wars for RCXs? I admit I like the originals better - much
more spectacular :)
