Robots in CoH tend to resist Lethal damage and be more vunerable to smashing.

The Devs try to not limit a set to a specific origin to make sense. A Robotic Armor set would be a technology origin, and be very hard to fit into the other origins. Energy Armor and Electic Armor tend not to be this restrictive.
However, if you want to, make a full set (detail the 9 powers in it), and put it up in Lady_Jade's Power Suggestion Box.

Wait, what? You mean my elec brute doesn't have good Psi resist in Static Shield? You mean the real numbers are lying to me?|

(In other words, Elec Armor has always had psi resist, try reading the power info better.)

In general we should be trending towards separating form (what you look like and why you look that way, e.g., origin) from function (resisting Smashing and Lethal). The power set you describe could (powers-wise) be perfectly appropriate for a robot...or a cyborg, a guy in a powered suit, an extraterrestrial, a summoned elemental, a mutant, a magician...in other words, just about anything. If you made this into a "robotic styled armour set", you'd effectively lock out all other takes on the set. Choice is good, variety is good, and that's why how your character looks has no impact on which powers they have available to them.

As did most of the other technology powersets like Robotics, Assasult Rifle, Traps and Devices, my point is that we need a powerset for Stalkers, Scrappers, Brutes and Tankers that has the same playstile of those in the other powersets.|

Also, it could be any origin, as magic could be an ancient magic powered machine as could robotics. I know this powerset has its restrictions, but it fills a small spot in the powersets.
