If the robots are the heroes, i would just roll 2 (simultaneous) simple contests (robots trying to infect people and robots trying to not get trashed) OR rule depending on the margin of victory. Yeap, its a hack, but seems to work on paper.
If the robots dont care about beeing trashed, maybe a marginal victory means they are all down but "10%" players infected? (maybe ALL of them are infected but i grant them another contest over the adventure to see if they actually die?)
