Here's how I approach bots.

Gear
>Medium Unflinching armor
can substitute your favorite medium/heavy
>Eruptor/Xbow/Purifier/scorcher/jar
The primary wants to be able to easily defeat devastators and rocket striders from the front, and potentially kill hulks quickly if you get shots on their heatsink
>Talon/Senator/Bushwhacker
Anything that you're comfortable using against zerkers if they get close
>pyrotech grenade/thermite
These can fuckup tanks/striders in a pinch

Stratagems
>Eagle strafing run
This is THE botfucker stratagem and you should tard wrangle your friends to bring it at the very least. It will fuck up patrols. It will fuckup freshly dropped reinforcement blobs. It will kill tanks. It will kill laser turrets. It will destroy fabricators. The only thing this doesn't handily delete is the factory strider.
>Jetpack\supply pack
I honestly think that the mobility is great for backdooring bot defenses and all around being fast. If you friends are running it, you can maybe mooch an extra off of them and save a slot.
>Laser cannon or quasar cannon
Laser cannon frontally deals with anything except tanks/factory striders, but your eagles/grenades faceroll tanks to death and the LC is superb at defanging the chin guns on the factories to make them easy to kill with eye/foot/belly attacks. Quasar can frontally fuck over tanks/factories, but you will be depending on primary ammo to clean up most everything else. Pick your poison.
>Shield emplacement or Commando or AT emplacement
Shield emplacement lets you calmly click on everything's head and defang factories. Commando can quickly kill a factory once you've defanged it with 4 shots to one foot. However, while I like these two and their short cooldowns when playing with semi-competent teammates, the AT emplacement may be higher impact and will allow you to skullfuck multiple factory striders at once.

Honorable mention:
Precision strike/gas strike/500kg/walking barrage can kill detector towers
