To respond to my previous comment, when I hit level 5 I evolved and should have been better but started losing over and over and I wasn't sure why. When I looked at my robots stats I noticed I had 0% ability and other stats were lower. When I unequiped and re-equiped an item that had % ability my stats went back up. So when I refreshed the game all of my stats went up to where they should be and I started winning again.
As an FYI and bug report, when you hit lvl 5 and maybe I can assume when you hit level 10 as well and you upgrade you also lose all the stats from your equipment until you either unequip and re-equip or restart the game.

Got it, thanks a lot for detailed explanation, we're looking into this now.
