You don't update your bot.

Simple as that.

Or, you can change the version number before you compile, then see what happens half a year down the line when that version actualy released.

Thats what I did. However, I became a unclassified version after somebody spotted me. However, it did get me on the top uptimes screen regardless.

It isn't cheating, its just not plating the game properly.
