How does the process to deploy the code work? I had before build season toyed with the idea of a Messenger bot (as a sort of website replacement/complement) but was testing Chatfuel (which is code-less). I like the idea of putting it in a repo and having more control there, but the other way is real simple for non-programmers and to deploy.
Hey ngreen! Starting a Chat Bot on messenger is really easy. I created a Github repo and then I bought a domain name and a hosting plan to host the php files that my bots use.

First, I watched online tutorials on how to create Facebook Bots in php. After the first youtube video, my framework was done and I did the rest by myself. FRC bot uses The Blue Alliance API to get his informations.

If you want to take a look at the code, you can go to: https://github.com/FRC-Bot/FRCBot-ChatBot
