Without a 3 day kickoff workshop, and validated reviews of the 
requirement analyses process plan?

I think this project is doomed already, no?

I would say forget all the fancy stuff, no obstacles, no configuration, 
just plain robots with a scanner and a big nasty cannon. (and some 
superdupa special effects of course - oh.. sorry)

Slow bullets and suboptimal scanners in a 2d world is realy enough to 
provide fun. (and the BIIIG explosions of course - ah... again, sorry)

And for the online fun, keep it for version 2.0 or better 3.0. Until 
that create a way to inject a random seed in the arena program. That way 
everyone can have a replay of official matches just by providing this 
random seed to his localy installed arena (and the bots of course).

just my 2 cents

cheers
