Since the robot isn't in any way supported by a gamepiece, the points are definately earned.

The rule was clarified on February 26th in the Q&A. It's very clear. If you're on top of a game piece you cannot earn bonus points, and neither can any robot you're touching. I think it's a great rule since it makes it that much harder to get the extra points.
