For something that can be grabbed in less than 2 minutes, the robustec implant provides way too much utility for the amount of effort it requires. You can shrug off any minor damage with them, and spacewalk without a suit for a non-trivial amount of time with it. I honestly consider it better than the SOS which requires running lava moon all the way through.
One way to nerf it would be to make medbots anchored (so you can't shove them around or walk through them) and/or inject faster. I feel like this fits better thematically as well than a direct nerf to it's effect. By anchoring, you'd actually have to deal with them or they'll eventually corner you, and they're some of the toughest mobs in the game. Even the bots in the biodome drone ship or at the end of the void take less shots to down. The medibots should be more threatening considering what they guard. Right now the bots aren't anchored which makes it trivial to dodge them and keep a one square gap to avoid injections. The robustec is simply too good for the amount of time and trivial risk that it takes to get, and you get two of them + grenade kit!
Also, is it intended to give constant regen instead of only under 40%? It currently gives you passive regen regardless of your current hp.
