Robots should be subject to suppression and morale in a fashion similar
to other troops.
Why ?
A trooper becomes suppressed when his immediate surroundings become too
dangerous to continue with his mission - a robot that ignores this would
very soon become a heap of scrap metal.
Going on with this, if you set it up so robotic units do not take suppression, then they should drop a die type for each suppression marker they would otherwise take. So yeah, one can have morale-less units, but it's then increasingly easier to hit and disable them.
Least, that's how I see it being game-able.
