Perhaps something that would be more maintainable would be to create  
an on-going KOTH* server?  This web application would allow anyone to  
sign up and submit their robots.  Uploaded robots are then run  
against existing robots, and each robot gets its own ELO or Glicko-2  
rating*.

That makes it so that anyone can sign up and start playing  
immediately.  This is how some of the old Redcode things used to run  
- way back in the day.
