That sounds quite feasible actually. I am not, as I've said, a source of much hope as far as being a programmer, but I think it could work.
There's only one problem I see. Either the programming for the bot would have to be extensive, incredibly, or there would be no way to make it do what you want it to do as an observer. Also, there could be none of the random hit/miss chance of most games like that, because the result would need to be the same on both systems. Now, I still think it'd be cool because you could try out different bots on your own system and it'd be fun...but I'm not sure how you'd make it much fun as an observer if every shot hit unless a wall was in the way or if every shot from the arena hit just because it was fired or dropped or what have you. I'd still like to see it.
