Robots resist lethal and psy to an extent, they are susceptible to smashing. They resist another damage type, I think it might be cold. Gravity control definitely is their biggest weakness along with big AoEs. So, at first they do pretty well against hellions, skulls, council. Late game, watch the succubus, because she CAN confuse robots.
Damage wise they are energy ranged attacks, and the 1st tier and the assault bot will use melee attacks for minor damage. Prior to level 32 upgrade, all their attacks except for the assault bot's flamethrower are single target with chance for knockback. The Assault Bot also gets -regen in his plasma attacks. Their DPS prior to level 32 is lower than Thugs or Demons, but after 32, I think it's a wash with all the AoE that the robot light show provides. Certain secondaries of masterminds synergize and improve robots damage quite well.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Bots also function real well with Defense the proc bot's shield gives them some defense. Bots are the least squishy of all the pets.
DPS well there not the best at that. The only pets that do less are zombies, well you could say ninjas for other reasons.
So for squishy I would give the list like this best to worst
Bots
Deamons
Thugs
Ninja
Mercs
Zombies
DPS
Thugs
Deamons
Mercs
Bots
Ninja
Zombies
After level 32 Bots used to get a hefty boost in dmg due to missile swarm, but it was recently nerfed. Now their dmg is about average.

For the record, that is confirmed as Not Working As Intended, so we can expect to see the Burn Patch damage return to what we are used to with Bots, at some point...|

I ran a bot/FF MM to 50 and I have to say it was one of the more powerful primarys of all the mastermind sets. Bots are primarily a ranged attack set. So keep them back and let them shoot the crap out of anything.|

Frankly once you get to level 32 every fight scene looks like a stormtrooper firefight out of Star Wars. With laser blasts going everywhere.
And I would say my level 50 bot/ff mastermind is a glorious walking path of death and destruction.
