Thought this might be of interest...there is a game called RoboForge that uses programmable robots. See:
http://www.roboforge.com/
Basically, you have a Bot wizard you can create your robots with, then you run the simulation against an opponent, then after the simulation, you watch the 'real' fight. Kinda cool. Seems to use fairly intense collision detection and stuff.
It is one of the first commercial games (that I know of anyway) that uses Java3D. There is a free trial download (about 30 mb).
