It DOES look like adding more stats to bots could make them overpowered but remember they don't get all those special things that players get, and the list of that is very long when you consider that people carefully factor all passives and actives they have.

As a GM who has messed with mobs and tested various PvE encounters, this is painfully true with not only Bots, but also NPCs in general. Players hold numerous advantages over PvE enemies and Summons/Bots/etc., and it's one of the primary reasons why people complain about PvE being too easy and boring. This is largely why I tend to throw down mobs with a surplus of power/skills in events, since by the game's PvE standards, it's impossible to give players anything but easily-trampled obstacles.

That being said, even with the +10 to softcaps that Destiny Bots get, I would not call their defenses 'stellar'-- as the screenshots show, they're only better than a player's in that they can rock both DEF and RES, but they also lack Critical Evade, Status Resistance, etc-- nor say they're overpowered in any measure against decent builds. The first thing I would do is make any Bot that utilizes Accuracy checks get as much LUC as they get SKI, and have their GUI replaced by the Engineer's GUI, since they're basically as clever as the person who built them.

I would also like to see Skills on Engineer that either:

A. Allow up to 2~3 of each Bot on the field from one Engineer.
B. Allow the Engineer to double down on Bots, granting them better accuracy/critical/power/DR/etc. Or let them give serious boosts to the Bot in exchange for, say, butchering the Engineer's offensive/defensive capabilities while the Bots are around.

As it stands, the 'Upgrade' skills aren't very friendly towards Bot-centric builds, much unlike the previous iteration of Upgrade, as well. Seriously, they require a ton of Skill Points (getting the base skills, then the upgrade skills alongside the bot skills) if you want to make use of them for Bots and not just PC allies.
