Place a new roboport near damaged buildings and provide power, but don't fill it with repair kits. Now insert some repair robots. They start flying and... wait over the robot port, without doing anything but wasting energy. Even if you now provide some repair kits, they still don't work.
Repair roboter sometimes don't repair, when they want to rebuild a building - even if they can't do that, because there is no provider chest with the building. They will sometimes just start flying and hover above the roboport. I can't reproduce this bug, so no further explanation. In any case the repair bot doesn't repair a damaged building, if it gets placed after the repair bot started flying with the repair kit for some other building.

Repair robots need repair kits to work, but won't reduce the durability of the repair kits - providing free repair if they have at least one repair kit.

Hello, these bugs have been already repaired for 0.8.1.

When the player doesn't have enough repair robots, he will get warning icon (next to the attack warning icon), with not enough robots. Similar with insufficient repair packs or material.
The robots will also not exit the roboport, if they have not the material to repair/build.

About the free repairing, I have checked that the repair pack is used. Do you know, that they can take up to 4 (with the logistic cargo capacity upgrade) repairpacks?

The situation before:

The situation, after I put two repair bots inside the roboport. Both repair kits have 100 health and all damaged buildings got repaired:
I have testet it in sandbox mode, but the same bug appeared in a normal play.

Just want to push my last post.

This is the problem of putting more bugs into one post.
Anyway, we wrote this problem down and we will fix it.

Yeah, I was discussing this with myself: "Arg, that are two bugs, but they are very similar. Should I post two Threads or one???"
