As my character currently in OWB is a PA-wearing heavy weapons tank, I ended up blasting the bots and turrets before running the tests. Of course, that made it ridiculously easy to complete them, although I discovered that blasting the new bots spawned during the advanced tests is an auto-fail. Fortunately I'd saved beforehand, so I tried creeping along behind them and it turned out that they're not that attentive and I was able to turn them off without getting caught. I was a bit annoyed that I had to deactivate the one that's nowhere near the travel path, but it was pretty easy to do so.
I was a bit concerned that as I don't have the Robotics Expert perk I wouldn't be able to shut them off, but that turned out not to matter. A little disappointing, actually, although the quest would have been impossible otherwise so it's probably just as well.
