I think it would be an even better idea if you tried it with laptops. Just go to the Toronto area and leave a few dozen scattered across my neighbourhood. You'd better get some of the newer models, in order to entice people even more into hooking it into their network.

I thought Quake III displayed this sort of AI learning. One of the programmers wrote his CS thesis on the Quake III AI.
