Re: How hard and how long would it take to make this?

Looks like it is done in Director.  Surely they used some 3d modeling 
software to setup some of the 3d stuff. If you have a good understanding 
of 3d in general and Shockwave 3d in specific, it is certainly possible 
to build something like that.  It is fairly complex and how long it 
takes and how hard it is to build would depend very much upon how good 
you are at these things.  Setting up the interface, getting the models 
to work properly, programming the bot's AI, dealing with scoring and the 
multiuser setup are not trivial tasks, but certainly doable (as 
evidenced by the fact that they did it here...)
