I suppose you thought the short lived trend of "Battle Bots" was moronic
as well? As a sport, yes. But the idea of Bot Vs. Bot combat with an
actual cost of repair or risk of destruction makes things all the more
interesting and makes you more likely to be CAUTIOUS and think before
you move.
As someone with over 2000 hours of Simulator experience using RC, Stick,
full steering wheel and other control mechanisms (which includes home
made controllers, and a few smaller scale vehicles/control schemes), I
have full faith in myself in control of ANYTHING I'm operating. Before I
would ever take steps to arm one of these, it would be safety tested
more often than most consumer vehicles.
It was simply an Idea. No need to throw around names like a grade
schooler. But what else should I expect from a pittelli.

Having just looked again at my last post I would like to point out to

Arming an amateur-built remote-controlled vehicle of any kind with a
lethal firearm is not only moronic, but almost certainly illegal in
most jurisdictions throughout the world because of gross-negligence.
Before anyone starts thinking about such things, they should build an
unarmed vehicle and operate it for 1,000 hours without a control
failure (electronic or human) of any kind to understand the difficulty
of the task. Then, the legal issue still applies, but at least at that
point we can't call them total idiots.
