Placement for Tech Bot does not matter much, as its automatic ability activations are always instantaneous.

Tech Bot's main use shines on freeplay mode games, where the player will want to achieve higher rounds with little interaction.

Dartling Gunner's 'Emergency Unlock' ability from the ' Emergency Unlock' MK.

Dark Knight, Dark Champion, and Legend of the Night's 'Darkshift' abilities.

Special Poperations's ' Door Gunner' ability from the ' Door Gunner' MK.

Support Chinook's and Special Poperations's 'Pickup Tower' ability.

Note that there are some abilities that never become activated by Tech Bot:

As of Version 17.0, the Monkey Knowledge ' Ambush Tech' allows the Tech Bot to activate the linked tower's skill when the Bloon enters a specific track area, allowing some of these abilities to be activated without being wasted.

However, abilities with a chance of being wasted, such as Turbo Charge/ Perma Charge or Blade Maelstrom/ Super Maelstrom, have risks with being linked.

Although other towers may also benefit from multiple Tech Bots at specific timings, only Bloon Sabotage and Overclock are the ones that significantly benefit.

Simply wait for around 20-25 seconds after the Overclock ability is activated, and then activate the Tech Bot onto the other Overclock afterwards. In the worst case scenario, 2 Tech Bots are required for 2 Overclocks in order for the same tower to be always Overclocked.

Wait for the Bloon Sabotage A to expire and immediately Tech Bot the Bloon Sabotage B, and so on up to Bloon Sabotage D.

Upon the first Tech Bot program to Bloon Sabotage A, the ability for Bloon Sabotage will activate.

The pattern at which Bloon Sabotage abilities activate needn't necessarily always have a ~15 seconds gap, since Bloon Sabotage doesn't soak through all layers, but having more Tech Bots to activate the various Bloon Sabotage abilities are helpful, provided the gap between each Bloon Sabotage isn't too close together (otherwise such abilities will become wasted

Bloon Sabotage ability needs a minimum of 4 to gain approximately full uptime, so 4 Tech Bots are also required to facilitate this need.

For instance, Bloon Sabotage has 25% ability uptime because it lasts for 15 seconds but has a cooldown of 60 seconds (therefore 45 seconds downtime).

To further explain, certain abilities have a specific amount of uptime.

To utilise these benefits, Tech Bot linkages must be timed promptly with when the activation(s) of when said abilities need to become activated.

Abilities that are utilized best with a time-based routine ( Bloon Sabotage/ Grand Saboteur, Snowstorm/ Absolute Zero, Overclocking a tower that are Tier 5, etc.).

Abilities with buffs with nearly 100% full uptime, specifically Pat Fusty's Rallying Roar in water under Energizer and the ' Ability Mastery' MK or Admiral Brickell's Naval Tactics under the same other conditions.

Abilities like this will almost never be wasted.

Abilities that only affect a certain type of Bloon ( MOAB Assassin/ MOAB Eliminator, Monkey Pirates/ Pirate Lord, Pat Fusty's Big Squeeze abilities, etc.).

For Tier 5 towers or Level 20 Heroes, use two Overclock Engineer Monkeys and activate one another when the other one is on about half of the cooldown. Towers that are Tier 4 or below can be 'permanently' overclocked in this way.

Overclock (starting in version 16.0) and Ultraboost by Overclocking the latest tower that was targeted.

Abilities that generate money ( Jungle's Bounty, Monkeynomics, Supply Drop, Support Chinook (do exercise caution with this one if you're using Pursuit), etc.), as these abilities are generally risk-free & tend to get in the way of microing.However, there are abilities where it is important to consider linking to: Tech Bot is mainly useful to save the player from micromanaging abilities, but the player has to exercise caution in choosing what ability to link to the Tech Bot.
