You must explain who will own the robots that produce everything. Also how will they be designed, built, maintained, fuel, food delivered, etc. If no one pays for anything?

Try thinking in the real world.

Billionaires and corporations will build, own and run the robots for a profit. The World tried other methods of running Utopian Societies and they end up worse than capitalism. Because of the people who run the Utopian Society.

Look at the EU as a great example, they can't even launch a common currency without massive fuck ups, like giving it to Greece. The people running it are shit and ripe for a Far Right takeover.
