It's an enjoyable episode, but it doesn't feel like it has much of a structure. Mostly just a collection of robot gags, without too much plot development happening. Not that I expect heavy plot from The Simpsons at this point.
It's a pleasure to hear Brent Spiner voicing the robots.
There was a lot of wasted opportunity. The replacement of workers with robots has ample room for all sorts of jokes about outsourcing. Instead, a surprising amount of the episode is devoted to sight gags. That isn't to say that they're bad sight gags. I liked seeing all of the robots sacrificing themselves in the road for Homer's stupidity.
