The '''Tech Bot''' is a consumable [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', introduced in {{BTDB2 version|4.6}}. Unlike [[Banana Farmer (Battles 2)|Banana Farmer]] and [[Bloon Bot]], Tech Bots ~~have more than 1 max limit~~ on the map. Uses of the Tech Bot can be bought with [[Monkey Money]] or obtained for free from [[Daily Reward]]s and events.

Unlike [[Banana Farmer (Battles 2)|Banana Farmer]] and [[Bloon Bot]], there is no limit to the number of Tech Bots that can be placed on the map at a time. Uses of the Tech Bot can be bought with [[Monkey Money]] or obtained for free from [[Daily Reward]]s and events.

When dropped, a menu will pop up to choose a tower or hero to control the automation of Activated Abilities, if there's applicable targets. Unlike in BTD6, the Tech Bot can automate specific Activated Abilities instead of just all of them. Tech Bot cannot ever activate certain abilities such as:

When dropped, a menu will pop up to choose a tower or hero to control the automation of Activated Abilities, if there's applicable targets. Unlike in ''BTD6'', the Tech Bot can automate specific Activated Abilities instead of just all of them. Tech Bot will not automatically trigger abilities unlocked after the target is connected by it, and must be manually enabled. Tech Bot cannot ever activate certain abilities such as:

*"Movement" abilities ([[Support Chinook (Battles 2)|Support Chinook]]'s Redeploy ability, [[Dark Knight (Battles 2)|Dark Knight]]'s Darkshift)

*"Sacrifice" abilities ([[Adora (Battles 2)|Adora]]'s Blood Sacrifice, [[Fateweaver Adora (Battles 2)|Fateweaver Adora]]'s Eye of Misfortune)

*"Placement" abilities ([[Beetienne (Battles 2)|Beetienne]]'s Beehives)

However, if [[Overclock (Battles 2)|Overclock]] and [[Ultraboost (Battles 2)|Ultraboost]] have selected targets, Tech Bot is able to automate their abilities.

==Strategy==

Tech Bot is helpful on towers and heroes that have spammable abilities. Every money-generating ability is among the best candidates for Tech Bot (but turn off [[Spirit of the Forest (Battles 2)|Spirit of the Forest]]'s life regeneration ability, unless life gains are intended). [[Obyn Greenfoot (Battles 2)|Obyn Greenfoot]]'s Brambles and [[Ocean Obyn (Battles 2)|Ocean Obyn]]'s Living Coral both benefit from automation, as the optimal strategy for both abilities are almost always to activate them off cooldown. Players running [[Overclock (Battles 2)|Overclock]] to boost Farms may also benefit from Tech Bot.

One niche use of Tech Bot is blocking off spaces for sentries for [[Sentry Gun (Battles 2)|Sentry Gun]] and beyond. It's very expensive to use so many Tech Bots for this purpose, so don't use this technique unless you're willing to lose plenty of Monkey Money for a less profitable win.

Some players may choose to equip few or no Tech Bots, because the presence of this placement button is capable of interfering with pressing activated abilities.
