as a huge drag racing fan I like this idea...
but I think, GroudonRobotWars, you need to think more into things before hand
*AI... do you know how to do any of it.. or even if others do it, piece it all together ?
*Arena's.. do you know anything about making them (or perhaps the complexity in doing so)
*Components... I suggest doing way more homework on these from posts you have already made in this thread
don't hesitate to ask questions but I don't think jumping straight into something like this is advisable with your amount of knowledge.
