== History ==
BotM was discontinued in January 2014 due to lack of interest. Hosted by [[Trovaner]] between November 2014 and June 2016. From July 2016 hosted by [[Meganerdbomb]] and has degenerated into a total memefest before hosting duties were transferred to [[Philippa]] in early 2018.

Starting from May 2018, [[FOTEPX]] made a new BOTM, which featured bots from various metas of RA2, such as Stock, DSL, Ironforge, Custom, and Replica. The DSL Meta is further divided into DSL-IRL "Chassis focused," "[[extenderbots]]," and "DSL-S", while other custom parts are merged into the Replica class

November 2016's BOTM was the first (and so far only one) to win, but not be featured on the front page of Gametechmods. This was possibly due to the crude nature splash and filename.
