I always wondered if there is some way to create a game where you program real life robots against each other?

Robot Wars is amazing and it's a crime that they cancelled it to "make room for new shows".

I don't think the BBC actually liked it, tbh. They scheduled it against impossible competition on BBC1.

Those are remotely controlled, so not robots at all.
Of course they're robots. Just not autonomous robots.
I heard they simulate all signals for robot model training
What do you mean by "real life robots"?
I was imagining having physical robots (as opposed to a simulation) with some sort of API to the motors, sensors, etc and you could upload code to to compete in some sort of game. Maybe even set up a webcam and stream the matches!
