A construction robot flies at 0.06 tiles per tick (3.6 tiles per second) and a logistic robot at 0.05 (3 tiles per second); each carries one item until cargo research raises it.	`speed`	Code
A robot spends 5 kJ for each tile it flies plus 0.05 kJ for each tick in the air (3 kW). A construction robot's battery holds 3 MJ and a logistic robot's 1.5 MJ; a robot heads for a roboport to charge when its battery falls below 20%, and one that runs dry keeps flying at a fifth of its speed.	`energy_per_moveenergy_per_tickmin_to_charge`	Code
