# botsay [](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyproto/botsay/main/LICENSE) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/xyproto/botsay)
Like cowsay, but with ASCII robots generated with [go-asciibot](https://github.com/mattes/go-asciibot), which is based on [asciibots](https://github.com/walsh9/asciibots), which is in turn based on [1k-asciibots](https://github.com/walsh9/1k-asciibots) which is inspired by the [Robot Factory](http://www.mains.me.uk/pocketeers/Htm-Designs/flipflopfaces.htm) game.
