Nanites have been discussed to death on this list.

Eventually the discussion runs down to this, every single time:

Nanite-based games will essentially be a stack of grey blobs, rolling
around the field and eating each other.  It might be fun for some

You can have a 200 post thread on the subject, or you can just end it
with the above comment.
