mThe 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.
Mostly dominated by [[JoeBlo]] and [[Clickbeetle]]. [[NFX]] is also becoming quite formidable in BotM.
The winners are:
