We're talking about the idea of the entire process being taken over by robots. You just undermined the whole premise. My point is that it's impossible to automate everything. There will always be people involved, and those people can always sabotage the process. The premise of this thread is that once the elites have military robots, they can use them to oppress us because they won't need people anymore. They will always need people, and people can always subvert the system.
The premise wasn't that they won't need people anymore, its that they would need very few people on their side to oppress billions. If everything has been taken over by robots then the situation is even worse. Then you have millions of robots that will patch any problems that come up and will be able to monitor for problems constantly and resolve them almost instantaneously. Disrupting the supply chain or taking out several factories isn't going to disable the millions of robots that already exist.
