One of the smaller gifts I got this year was a Hex Bug: This was a fairly simple walker that'd react to touch or sound. My brother mentioned some toy he once saw: Alien ships that would have a war: Some would run away from aggressors, which in turn would give chase. I'm interested in that sort of thing: Critters that react to one another. Anyone got suggestions for little bots or some simulation software?

Boids is a just web-based example. Don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for.
Some of the links on that page might be more relevant.
I can't remember where I saw that kit, but I'll keep trying to find it.
WARBOTS!
Awesome.
Robocode simulates battles between programmable robot tanks. It's intended as a competitive game, but you can use it to simulate such patterns of behaviour.
