I love it. But, then again, I used to build huge paper/wood sail boats models and throw them against each other.

And, just to annoy the PETA in you, when I was a kid I used to crew them with ants. Poor ants.

Very Cool, I wonder if we could do if we could find that guy who built the 1/200 Scale riddle-battle ship we saw some months back and fill the cannons with Paintballs

Shit that's cool!! But they should have selfdestruct buttons so you can go down with some dignity instead of just sink (a nice big, firey explosion is the way to go).

When I was a kid I used to dream about this kind of stuff, this is most definately cool do they have little robot submarines yet :D .

I also used to dream of something similar but with robot controlled tanks armed with pistols (I know it'd be dangerous & stupid but hey).

Imagine a TV series based on this kind of thing it'd be far better than watching 'buffy' infact you could do all kinds of things like pump the combatants full of drugs & alcohol to simulate paranoia & battle stress, uhmm then again thats probably a bit... wrong.

And yes, very cool. Although how could someone have the heart to sink the Wrath of Khan? :)
