I am fairly certain that this could be done with stuff in the kit.

Don't get me wrong, it would be a huge challenge, but I think it could be done.

My major concerns are with the following:
I am not sure that the control system could stand the dead zone in the midde of the Victors and I am concerned about the updated rate to the Victors (50Hz for the link from the Robot Controller to the Victor and data packets at the rate of 40Hz -- probably not fast enough).

In addition, I think that the robot could not do much else beyond balance on 2 wheels. There is not likely to be enough CPU power to do much else. Beyond this, waving arms & actuators would definitely make the system more challenging to control.

It would be an interesting machine, even if it didn't do much to play the game.
