Bot of the month

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.

Mostly dominated by JoeBlo and Clickbeetle. NFX is also becoming quite formidable in BotM.
