A distinction should be made here. "Admin" is a right you'd want to keep once you earned, but "Bot" is not a right that you want to keep on your main account: I am not currently a bot, though the rights log shows I've switched back and forth as is necessary.

Under most circumstances, you'd want to create a second "bot" account (for example, this is my bot). Then you would get the "bot" flag for that account, one on each wiki for which you intend to bot around. As said, on most wikis the only way to get a bot flag is via Special:Contact/general. You should make sure the community is OK with the bot flag before it's enabled.

To actually use a bot, you'd want to use bot software, like PyWikipediaBot or AutoWikiBrowser. User blog:RansomTime and User blog:TyA have some good guides on either. But this is all advanced stuff... for now, you might wanna relax, and just edit wikis as a normal user.
