That's a really cool idea.

Remember rockem, sockem robots?

Well how about rockem, sockem Janbots?

A couple of janbot, flutterbot, vex robots
with a target and USB missile launchers.

Put them in a ring with other robots with 
sonar trying to get into position to aim and 
shoot at each other...

Yes, I know, it's beyong what is likely to
happen in the near term, but it's fun to
think about.
