About

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.

BotM was discontinued in January 2014 due to lack of interest. Since its revival in November 2014, it has been hosted by Trovaner.
