I don't think anyone has posted a .. er.. post on this yet, so i will. How the hell do you kill robots? It seems to be that each time you meet a new enemy in FOT you think to yourself 'these guys are *way* too hard', and after a few missions you get the hang of it, but robots seem to be really tough. Energy weapons are alright, and so are solid slug shells. But what is the quickest way?
 
Gauss minigun......


Well, it depends on which robots. They all are different and require different strategies. The safest bet is to have a sniper with good critical hits. Make targeted shots to the head to knock them unconscious. From there it should be a piece of cake. Also a pancor with energy shells does very nicely.
 
aiming to the head is good
but not good enough
:-)
my precious stevie, with a small guns score of 240, blinded every enemy on the first shot (luck 5).
the blinded enemies miss 99% of their shots, and sometimes run away.
you see, knocking out the robots is not advises in some cases-since the tank robots and load lifters can block doors!

take care

everything 'emp' is good against them. the emp pulse gun is the best.. doesn't have a very good range though. laser rifle has a better range, but doesn't do as much damage.
i love to sneak up close to a robot and take them out with a shotgun burst (using pancor jackhammer). one burst mostly kills a humanoid bot, if i use the emp shotgun shells (the yellow ones). apparently this is only useful in certain situations though, and besides that, the emp shotgun ammo is very rare.
 
The .50 machine gun is also good, and you can usually find some ammo from very large robots or turrets (although the stuff is very heavy and you can never carry as much as you'd like). Other machine guns, including multi-barreled guns, are worthless. So are assault rifles. Sniper rifles are only good against eyes and heads, or with someone with very wicked skills. The grenade launcher isn't bad against big slow guys. There is an acid sprayer that works well, but it has short range, ammo is hard to find, and it has a very fast rate of fire. If you are not playing turn based, it will be gone before you know it. All sorts of grenades are great. All hand-to-hand weapons are terrible.

Shotgun with EMP shell is best, as was said before. Slug shells are also pretty good. Because the shells are so rare, it is best to use single fire unless you are in a tough situation.
 
I think wot he means, is how do you kill them when you first come across them, and dont have access to all those funky emp and laser weaponry.
Make sure your character has power armour, i found that was the most important.
Also, use your team together. I generally took along two heavy weapons guys, and these two snuck up on them, then popped up and unloaded half a million M2 shells into they're ass. This is how i survived until the rest of your team can get a hold of the good energy weapons and heavy weapons that the robots are carrying;)
Good luck eh!
 
The first time met Robots? What U got only M249,Miniguns and those little Plasma pistol and few Laser and Plasma rifle right. I think a Point Blank Fire with the Vindicator MiniGun could destroy most Robot or at least knock them off their feet but you must fire it from Point Blank Range (a.k.a. directly in front of them!) So you need a power armor and lotsa stimpak!!.
