A possibility for the repair bots: The AI doesn't like caltrops. If you throw down caltrops, bots will step out onto them, take damage, and then run away.
Mudpots may also have this effect. Laying caltrops, if you have them, at the base of a damaged pillar will most likely make them less likely to bumrush the
pillar in an attempt to fix it. Instead, you will get them rushing in, running away, and looping back. Although if the pillars are close enough together, the
loop might take them to one of the other pillars. In any case, if the caltrops are still there when they get back, the whole process repeats itself.
