Help, Can't Remember Name of Old Game!

I've been searching like crazy but for the life of me can't remember or find the name of this old game. I think it was for SNES. The basic game play was a hex map with 2 sides. Each side had some bases/factories which pumped out robots/mechs which you could group into clusters of 3. You'd send these out to capture the enemy bases to beat each map. Once engaged in battle the robots would actually fight without your control as they followed directions programmed into their logic chips. The fun part of this game is that you designed the robots from head to toe including base type (tank/flyer/multi-leg/biped), engine, armor, weapon (lazer, shotgun, pellet, missiles, mines), and then logic chip. This is where you'd spend a lot of time, actually inputting the logic for each robot to follow in battle. You could give commands like turn, move forward, move sideways, scan for enemy, fire weapon, find range of enemy, scan for missiles, jump, duck, etc. Really innovative! My favorite would be to build a flyer, load it with mines, then program it to fly over the enemy and drop all the mines.Help, Can't Remember Name of Old Game!
I had a bit of a search online, based off the above description. 'Metal Marines' is the closest thing that I could find.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXIfG5DSA04 Could this be the game in question?:question:Help, Can't Remember Name of Old Game!
Ah, I found it! It's actually a PS game, not Nintendo.
