Crazy idea...or is it?

I was thinking a little last night (dangerous, I know) and had a crazy idea. What would you guys think of...

...a FIRST video game?

No, I'm not talking a flash game or anything like that. I'm talking a full-blown 3D platform video game.

I was thinking of compiling a bunch of games. You choose a FRC game, then have the option of choosing an actual robot from that game or building your own. You get a variety of choices for drive, manipulator, etc., then combine them. Then, you play a regional with that robot, controlling it through the match.

Does anyone think this idea has a shot in the real world? Or should I go to bed earlier so I don't get ideas like this?

(Also note: No way anyone can do this solo; it would have to be a massive team effort by several teams/individuals working together.)
