very cool.  i think i say that a lot about your stuff lately.  i'm
wondering how different the two bots are in your animation.  so will a
player be able to make any kind of bot they want?  ex. arms to hit the
other bot?  will there be rules for what a bot can do, or maybe can't
do?  will they have to have certain standard names in order to interact
with the ball and the playing field correctly?  again, very cool.
