The 'little bit pregnant' analogy is technically true but misleading in a practical sense. Because full kashrut observance is so complex, a lot of non-Orthodox Jews observe it partially. For some, that's a stepping stone. For others, it's a compromise -- not all of us live within commuting distance of a kosher supplier or can afford to have kosher meat delivered or have the space to keep a large enough freezer. My current compromise is to only purchase meat from the local butcher. It's not kosher, but it is locally raised. It's the best ethical decision available to me at this time.

Not unless they're going to eat it.
But I gotta ask: Who in their right mind would make a Jewish robot? Even if a Jew makes a robot, he's going to make it a gentile robot - think about it, a battery-powered Shabbos goy!
Actually, this one's already been done. It's the premise of a web comic, Shabot 6000, http://www.shabot6000.com - A Jew creates a robot to be his Shabbos Goy (this is the term for a non-Jew who helps out in a Jewish community, doing things on the Sabbath that are prohibited for Jews but not for non-Jews, like operating light switches, A/C, etc). Anyway, the plan backfired when the robot decided he was Jewish.
The comic itself is pretty hit-or-miss, but when they're funny, they're very funny.

Ahh, Jewish storeowners love this season. We make so much off the secular christians.
Yes, the robots we make require a very expensive oil only available in specialty stops.
You might order one at www.kosherrobots.com

I would imagine so. But the more important question is whether or not they could work on Saturday, or would their owners need special back-up "gentile" robots for the Great Day of Rest.

Robots are goyish, and don't require food grade oil.

Well, they get a Bot Mitzvah when they enter the thirteenth year of their activation date, so I guess they require kosher oil.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Stock for the reference.
