'''The Bot of the month''' contest or '''BOTM''' is a robot building contest started by [[ACAMS]] on [[Gametechmods]]. Each month, ACAMS gives needed bot criteria for the upcoming month, and the builders design a robot and create an attractive image showing it (otherwise known as a splash). The entries are then displayed to the public and are voted on in a dedicated thread, the winner is the entry with the most votes. As a reward for winning Bot of the Month your entry will be displayed on the GameTechMods.com home page.

−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.
+Originally, ACAMS gave criteria for each month with the single most voted entry being posted onto GameTechMod's main page. BotM was discontinued in January 2014 due to lack of interest.

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.
