The more creeps to share weapon hits, the better repair robots become. (on a side note: you may create a very good repair-robot vs long range scenario on the side lanes with a ghost tank in midgame by the same reasoning)
Perhaps repair bots can be better in mid due, but I don't think that's 100% true. Repair bots offer very little defense against a gank by enemy players, so if 3 mid players choose to attack a repairbot user with spells he's going to go down much faster than a guy with say a steel hull. This also rings true for people who push with repair bots on the side lane.

the repair robots works like a armor. i someone shoot at you whit a fireball cannon (1second cd, 157 dmg) and you got rep. rob. he only do 82 dmg and if he hit meanwhile a creep you will be full again.
the repair robots are fine
Yes but repair robots lose value over time as the game progresses. By your logic any tank with a field-repair (light tank, scout, medivac) are all overpowered on the side lane.
Your fireball cannon senario doesn't include tank cannon (which is very important to a mid-range fight) or the fact that in a flat out fight where both players are at full hp iron hull would be superior to repair robots.
