The Bot of the month contest (BotM for short) 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.

'''The Bot of the month''' contest or '''BOTM''' is a robot building contest started by former site owner, [[ACAMS]], on [[Gametechmods]]. Builders participate in different categories by building robots and creating attractive images for display purposes (otherwise known as splashes).

== History ==
 +
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. 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.

BOTM was soon turned to the New BOTM format, starting from New BOTM-September 2018, which features four different categories: DSL-IRL Chassis focused, DSL-IRL Extenderbots, Unrealistic/Standard, and Custom (which also features replicas). Though for the first two New BOTM, there were only three categories: DSL-IRL, Standard/Unrealistic, and Custom, due to both DSL-IRL chassis focused and DSL-IRL Extenderbots being merged into one category as a result of one category not reaching the minimum required entries to be eligible for separate category. The winning bot of each category is also displayed on the front page by randomly changing splash, which changes when the front page is reloaded, displaying one category winner at a time.

Latest revision as of 20:59, 16 December 2018

The Bot of the month contest or BOTM is a robot building contest started by former site owner, ACAMS, on Gametechmods. Builders participate in different categories by building robots and creating attractive images for display purposes (otherwise known as splashes).

History

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. 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.

BOTM was soon turned to the New BOTM format, starting from New BOTM-September 2018, which features four different categories: DSL-IRL Chassis focused, DSL-IRL Extenderbots, Unrealistic/Standard, and Custom (which also features replicas). Though for the first two New BOTM, there were only three categories: DSL-IRL, Standard/Unrealistic, and Custom, due to both DSL-IRL chassis focused and DSL-IRL Extenderbots being merged into one category as a result of one category not reaching the minimum required entries to be eligible for separate category. The winning bot of each category is also displayed on the front page by randomly changing splash, which changes when the front page is reloaded, displaying one category winner at a time.

Trivia

Between Clickbeetle and JoeBlo's 26 Wins they have won every month at least once except January.

9 Different people have achieved "Back to Back" victories, Clickbeetle being the first to do so in 2009.

JoeBlo, Redline, and dragonsteincole are the only winners to successfully win more than twice in succession (JoeBlo winning 3 in a row in 2010 inculding a shared win with Sage, Redline winning 3 in a row in 2015, and dragonsteincole winning 3 straight in 2017.)

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.

Dragonsteincole is the only user to win 9 times in a row since October 2017, winning by large margins on most occasions.

As of August 2018 Fracture's win in May 2012 is the oldest win for a user who is currently a normie

The New BOTM currently gives new users more chance to win due to the multiple meta format, with players like Pokebro14, FlamesOfIce, Cringey, and Bildschirm winning a single meta.

Currently, RedAce holds the record for most back to back win in a single meta of the New BOTM, with three wins in Unrealistic/DSL-S currently. He also is the first person to win two times in one month under the new multi-poll system.
