Define a good build? Me, I'm very happy with my own build but not sure everyone would agree with me! The community as a whole seems a bit down on non-Stamina builds but I've found a lot of versatility with my own...

Still, this is the first build thread for Bot/FF I've seen since I7 so for what its worth heres my planned build (played up to 42, slotting may be a little off in terms of levels taken at).
Here is my bots mm to date:
I went the stamina-less route as well, also skipped the attacks.
01) --> Battle Drones
01) --> Force Bolt
02) --> Deflection Shield
04) --> Insulation Shield
06) --> Equip Robot
08) --> Recall Friend
10) --> Assault
12) --> Protector Bots
14) --> Teleport
16) --> Personal Force Field
18) --> Tactics
20) --> Dispersion Bubble
22) --> Aid Other
24) --> Aid Self
zap, some questions, does this work well without stamina?
why not get rid of pulse rifle burst, put deflection shield there, get aid other at 10, aid self at 18 and resusicate at 49?
someone go to the US forums and PM him to answer me please 
i got a MM waiting for a build

IMO it's no problem without Stamina.
I usually only run short when summoning or in a really tough EB fight.
The rifle attacks are not needed really, they do help when you are in the early levels but they become insignificant later on.
Okay, it works well. In combat I run Hover, Dispersion, Assault, Tactics and Scorpion Shield. I float above my bots (to get out of melee and still have enough endurance to Force Bolt and Pulse Rifle Burst to assist.
If things get hairy, I can for relatively short periods of time start running Force Bubble or Group Fly. Enough for a single combat without getting drained out.
Sure, you can drop the attack - but it is handy for finishing off an outlying mob while your bots switch target to make better use of their AoE potential. I still use it now at level 42 so don't discount it as quickly others do. I could even find use for all three blasts, but the build won't take it - too tight on room for good powers so I only took the heavy blast.
Not a found of Resuscitate - I'm not a party healer (though can a little in a pinch) so prefer something else. Aid Self is my plan for 49, though I'm also debating Recall Friend (for stuck bots). Could go either way - I've gone over 40 levels without a self heal, as Respites fill the need since if it goes to hell in a handbasket I fire off PFF.
Its very playable for me. Some may find it tight if they want to run more toggles for longer (e.g. constant Force Bubble). I couldn't warrant losing three slots just to get Stamina, when there were more useful things there, however.
Well my current build so far:
