The Omicron bot isn't as great as it could be. In particular, it cheats by
being immune to the "anti-camp" system included with the game.

In addition, it's possible to modify the reaper bot so that it can play
with other mods (through a decompiler).  With Omicron, the progs.dat could
not be decompiled at the time.

I'm not sure how FrogBot works, since I can't download it at the official
site.  (Telefragged.com sucks.)  

There was also the FrikBot, which was designed to be plugged into mods
without any problem or changes in how the bots worked - the only thing
needed would be playing around with the AI a bit...
