A "clone" is technically a robot that is a carbon copy of another bot, but the term is more used for very similar designs. Often (but not always) bears a negative connotation - calling someone else's bot a clone is often seen as criticism.
Other people see nothing wrong with cloning, especially if they haven't seen the bot before.
