Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Shorten charge_approach_distance for robochests

Robochests previously had their charge_approach_distance set to 5, the same as Roboports. This didn't really make sense because Robochests are smaller and their charge point is at their center rather than around their perimeter. This causes robots to take significantly longer to fly to the charging point, especially when they're out of power. Changing the distance to 2 makes things a lot more efficient, while still looking better than having them all bunch up like they would at distance 0.
