I think any design that wastes weight/space with projectiles is probably not too efficient since there are limitations about using high velocity projectiles, armor piercing projectiles and of course, pyrotechnic or exploding projectiles, which would clearly end any contest in short order while being too dangerous to allow spectators anywhere near the combat grounds.
That's the problem with doing giant sized Battlebots; same limitations. Non-lethal paintball cannon? Unless it's a lethal paintball cannon that can disable a 9,000-12,000 lb mech, that cannon may as well be a fake air scoop or a hood ornament on a car.
If they go with effective firepower as being the rule, the engineering feat is in the long range targeting system; which ever has greater range, faster lock times with enough lethality for a one shot kill wins, much like modern tanks.
Otherwise, this could just be a robot sumo wrestling match where the first one to knock the other one over wins, since both are presumably too heavy and not designed to upright themselves in such an event.
