Mechanics

Bot Factory has two large platforms that drop every few rounds starting from round 6, with the rest of the terrain unaffected by these gimmicks. Before dropping during a round, two red buzzers will bleep near the platform side that would fall down. The top platform drops, and after the next two rounds it rises again, which will last for four rounds, then the bottom platform falls and lasts for two rounds, rising again the next four rounds, and the process repeats.

Platform-dropping rounds

Drop	Rounds after round 5
Bottom	6–7, 18–19, 30–31, 42–43, 54–55, 66–67, 78–79, 90–91
Top	12–13, 24–25, 36–37, 48–49, 60–61, 72–73, 84–85, 96–97

The following special interactions occur with Bot Factory's platforms:

This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason.

• Monkey Aces and Heli Pilots still operate normally, but cannot be selected nor use their Activated Abilities once the platform drops.
• Monkey Banks, Marketplaces and their higher tier upgrades still generate cash, but cannot be selected nor use their Activated Abilities once the platform drops.
• Bonnie's carts can still be sent, but her carts cannot be upgraded or sold while she is below the platform.
• Bloon Bot and Tech Bot can still operate, but this is not the case for Banana Farmer.
• Any Arctic Wind arctic "land" by terraforming water will be lost once the elevation platforms drop, until raised up again.

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections.

Most high-level and low-level players dislike the map, as this map heavily favors long-ranged towers such as Mortar Monkey and Heli Pilot, and disfavoring Banana Farm. The platform gimmicks ruin many strategies that work on other maps, and the long length of the map favors pure eco strategies. In fact, Monkey Village is not a bad option on this map since reducing the platform dropping rate; it makes solid cash for the mid-game while also offering supreme support.

Strong strategies mostly involve avoiding the platform drop gimmick, where half of the placement space on the map is sent under the map. Towers can avoid this gimmick by being placed in the water accessed by removing either of the two valves, attacking from the sky like Etienne or the Heli Pilot, or by being placed on the two platforms that don't drop at the top and bottom of the map. When the controlling tower of an aircraft (like the ace and runway or drones and Etienne) is under the map, the aircraft cannot be upgraded or targeted, so buy defense before the platform falls if necessary.

Recommended towers and upgrades

Name	Portrait	Reasoning
Mortar Monkey		The base 0-0-0 Mortar is a top-tier choice on this map due to the many curves and long length of the track. Enough so that one can reliably afford this and Jericho on Round 1 while still steadily building eco. Mortar also has great defensive capabilities in the mid-game.
Agent Jericho		Normal Jericho increases difficulty of the opponent's early-game with his higher potential steals and early Camos, and towards the late-game his Decoy MOAB disrupts projectile-heavy defenses such as Super Monkey.
