This is a good suggestion, I think taking it a step further wouldn't be out of the question.
The floor bot is the most useless of all bots for this very reason. Medibots come stock with a lot of good meds, securitrons never run out of cuffs or baton hits, sanitation droned can mop and clean up liquids forever. But they are all slow.
Floorbots are both slow, and don't come with any more tiles than you make for them really. If they can make their own tiles from things found on the ground or make tiles more efficiently (1 metal sheet to 8 tiles instead of 4) then they might be more useful.
But even with that they might not see much use, since now it is so quick to remake floors from explosion holes (click the tile in hand or on space, where before you had to lay lattice then click the latice with the tile), and you want to do it fast to keep air anyway.
