"Girobot", do you mean the "Gyrobot" by "Gyro Gearloose" [1]?

Also, I believe KQP had ZeusBots included (for reference).

ZeusBots were where it was at, for me.

First few computers were too slow to run Quake effectively, but then I had a Duron 900 (they ran slow AND hot!), bought a 'PC Powerplay' magazine that came with a CD full of quake mods, and a map with 20-40 of ZeusBots worked just fine!

Oh man, PCPowerPlay! I had my q3 mod written up in there in 2000 [1].
