This sounds like an interesting idea.  I've been working on a Ruby
implemented robot for the RealTimeBattle simulation (you can find Real
Time Battle on Source Forge).  Our local linux group is going to
sponser a "Battle Bots' style meeting and we are encouraging members
to write their own robots to participate.  I'm hoping to use the
opportunity to promote Ruby just a wee bit.
