Theoretically you could use a memory controller in conjunction with a gathering bot, and the weird marriage may cause a locked-in miner to somehow change locations during a mining attempt.

I have yet to find real evidence of that distance hack that some of these bots seem to have though, and we have visual confirmation of that.
It definitely would takes and advanced program to bot mining or botany for there is a lot of obstacle to go around. a bot could easily get stuck up. I personally never had evidence of someone botting (taking into acount that those people who dont reply me back are just being rude). Most of the botting problem seems to be concentrated into straight crafting and fishing.
