40% is enough.
To be honest, anything under 50% is just completely useless, which is why I think a 60% debuff is a fair value. If you feel the Assault Bot's special should be buffed to 90% in order to compensate for its cost, I won't disagree at all. If you take some examples into consideration:
If I had 58 technology (21-26 resistance) and my opponent malfunctions me for -35 technology, I will be left with 23 technology (8-10 resistance). With the assault bot, I can recover 80% of my technology that was debuffed, bringing it back to 51 technology (18-22 resistance). If the Rusty Assault Bot recovers 40% of my technology, it'll bring my technology to 37 (13-16 resistance). If it was 60%, my technology would be 44 (16-20 resistance), which would be a fair amount although still quite a significant amount of technology lost.
For the price, I would say the 15,000-30,000 range would be fair, although I can totally see it going to 50,000 because it only costs credits. Keep in mind that the majority of non-varium players do not have a boatload of credits at their disposal nor can they get a boatload easily due to the fact that they are unable to win battles.

If 50% or more, I expect 50k or higher price. I know for a fact I will be able to farm that within a month, so no problem there.
You're looking at those numbers from the perspective of a varium player. If I could win 50% of my battles, I could probably do that too, although that is unfortunately not the case. Also, NPCs and Power Hour are not legitimate reasons to raise the price of an item because not everyone enjoys constantly fighting one to three things constantly and power hour is not available to everyone.
I too feel that the price of the Assault Bot is steeply priced at $10, but that is also not a legitimate reason to cripple a non-varium player's chances at obtaining a robot that is actually useful in battle. There are tons of games on the internet and if it comes to a point where non-varium players are crippled too much they cannot even enjoy the game slightly, they will leave for another game, which would also cause varium to be at an even lesser advantage since you'll be facing varium players more often.
