'can a bot be beaten?'

there may be three types of bot in a trade:
signals and alerts program
charting program
execution program

imo:

it is not possible to give a definitive answer, as there are too many unknowns and variables!

can you physically beat a bot? no, because a bot is executing trades far faster than you can physically execute trades!

can you preempt bots. yes

many bots are used to merely to hedge and to enhance profits. as such, this question may not be relevant.

there are many parties trading; not only bot(s)!
