My bot has been slotted for: 4 defense buffs, damage and heal but does it work.. mmm, well single bubble didn't work, everything always hit no matter what but now with 2 bubbles yellow melee mobs miss sometimes, ranged seem to hit like 70%, oranges/reds always score a hit.
ps. im still sticking with that setup :|
If that's 4 defence buff SOs, you're going over the ED cap - stick with 3 to be most efficient.

Have they actually fixed the minions yet so they can recieve bonuses from more than just DMG and ACC enhancements?
I can remember from beta that bots (battle drones) were slottable for their inhereted (how u spell that) resist, but now that seems to be gone.
What other bonusses would their be? (knockback / jump are kinda useless :P)
50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, that bug has been fixed now. Think it was a week ago.

[/ QUOTE ]They always could if the abilities they had without upgrades benefitted from those enhancements.

You were right about that, thanks to your advice, i slotted for 3 and i think that my bots and me are getting hit less than before. Thanks.

Groovy!
Just the other day I went to buy some DOs - went for damage, bough 4 of them and stuck them into my protector bots.
Then I realised I bought SOs! Noooo! 
Wasted a whole SO!
I thought they were a little on the expensive side

Hmm, so it dont seem to be whole alot but maybe it's slightly more than that.. um. I had an real situation, that happened yesterday on a mission (things got out of hand, fast).
Difficulty: Ruthless (28-29s)
Mobs: Lost
Typing errors for mob names, highly possible.
Story:
Started out with a Anethma LT (orange) that got knocked back to another group, there was another Anethma (red) with 5 yellow minions.
First Anethma was defeated just as the second started bolting away, became my first target for Assault bot, while others started to take down yellows.
Intense firefight occured and the 2nd Anethma was down but at the same time one lost boss aggroed us, that of course became my primary target but then it got knocked back to another boss and and that point one of the minions decided to chase me around, so i had to save my own backside by running around trying to get him off me (there were still 5 of them because all this happened, so fast!).
Outcome: not a single minion loss. Maybe not due the bubble but maybe, i didnt have to heal much except use repair once on the assault bot and toss a few heals around. Last ones to clear out was the minions, so the battle drones were "tanking" them all that time and they didnt get hit very much.
The fight was short but man, it was a fight.
EDIT: then i started to remake the situation against Freakshow mobs but that one failed in seconds.
Hmm I have slotted my protector bots with 2 buff enchantments, not sure if it helps. But my bots get shredded a bit slower 
What I noticed is that they get shredded each time they go in melee, seems like ranged attacks miss them a lot or doesn't do much damage 
Against the Lost, bots should do pretty well, since they get a great whacking (almost) 50% psi resistance, and some pretty nice mez protection. Against the Freaks is a little harder, since you don't have great/any resistance to the damage types they use - smashing/energy you have no resistance to, lethal you get some.
As for not lasting long in melee, well, melee attacks tend to hit much harder! The things I'm currently facing, my drones tend to get one shotted in melee, poor little guys

I have restarted my MM and gone only drones/upgrades and the FF, with the deflection shield and the insulation screen my drones realy stand out a whole lot better. At lvl 6 even took out a cobra lvl 7. Took me one resummoning though, and the 2 minions with it were dead after that as well
I didn't want to open another thread just for a smallish movie i made, well it shows protector bots in action (well all of them tbh). -This video can contain power spoilers- , music of choice wasnt that good but sort of fits the mood (use mute when needed & play your own tune 
).
Host should be "okay for speed" but can open popups (grr), just popup block if needed. Anyway here is Bang (63mb): <Click> .
Lvl 25 was the most difficult one for me as Mastermind. I had gotten used to playing in rugged, but had to lower the difficulty level just to get to level 26. Smooth sailing ever since, even on higher difficulty settings. I just love my Assault Bot!
Just wondering what the defence value from their bubbles is? And does slotting them for defence improve this?
