What happens is they fail miserably kill each other, and then adults come back to bring order.
That's not how it's gonna go. The Chilean electoral system gives a large advantage to political parties, so chances are that the majority, vast majority in fact, will be affiliated to political parties (formally or informally). That means they will have lawyers involved.
The real fun will begin when they get to discuss rather unnoticed stuff like the election system or when they begin to discuss social and economic rights (I'm betting they will include all sorts of opposing rights here, forcing a balancing act similar to that in the current Constitution but with some additional duties for the State). But I don't see them reaching agreements about the election system and other key parts of any Constitution that regulate the interactions between Government institutions and how Government is to function in general.
The icing on the cake will be when all sorts of street groups will try to force a specific result on the Convention.
