with not-even-maxed extensions, just knowing what you are doing, you can permarun a small repair, a neut, a sensor amp and an active hardener (activated) on a waspish -> and that against a trojar spawn with several drainers on you (while the neut would be useless there)
in open beta i could run a castel with two small armor repairs + sensor amp, without running into any energy problem.
blue bots having repaired ammount bonus. They probably cant permarun Armor-Reps, but they dont have to (more micromanagement)
Yellow bots having either resist or accumulator bonus -> both are helping there.
Resist means you have to repair less real hitpoints to gain more relative hitpoints.
accumulator bonus means you got better recharge and bigger buffer.
the most important fact here is - you have to train up "basic/advanced robotics" to actually gain those bonuses. Training up the Repair-cycle extension, before the others is not very clever.
last but not least - get t2 repair - or better the prototype. needs less AP for same ammount repaired. and always pair a repair with a hardener for better resists
