I have a lvl 20 bots/traps mastermind , so i prolly dont know too much , but ill post what i do know
From your traps set , web grenade and caltrops are beyond are must , its very important keeping enemies at bay , robots are mainly long range so bringing them in is not an issue. I also find poison trap useful since it delays enemies for a few seconds as well as lowers their regen rate.
From Robotics
The usual robot summons and all that , i find it very useful to 3 slot Upgrade to minimize downtime when entering a mission , repair at lvl 18 is also a must , 3 slotting is required too. I took assault rifle blast but not burst. Its recharge is slower but it has a knockback chance and higher dmg. Plus , as MM's , we dont get our hands too dirty , so both shots arent really required , but its good to have a backup attack if things get rough.
Sorry if this sounds kinda noobish , im still new to the whole MM scene :D

I've got a LVL 38 Bots/Traps MM on Infinity and after 2 respecs here is what I have come up with.
Everyone agrees that MM are very squishy and in general don't want to attract aggro by fighting. So this build is centered around giving the pets the best chance for survival and keeping me alive to direct the bots.
These are the powers I chose. My primary focus was the natrually the primary set as it determines the damage your inflicting so powers taken from that set were taken as they became available in leveling.
From the Primary Robotics set:
Battle Drones - Staple ground troop
Slotting - 2 ACC / 3 DMG
Pulse Rifle Burst - Good for finishing shot / badge hunting
Slotting - 2 ACC / 3 DMG
Equip Robot - First level of upgrades
Slotting - 1 End Red
Protector Bots - Intermediate Bot
Slotting - 1 ACC / 1 Heal / 1 DEF BUF / 3 DMG
Repair - Refills one pet to max HP
Slotting - 3 Rec Red
Assault Bot - Main damage dealer
Slotting - 2 ACC / 3 DMG
Upgrade - Second level of upgrades
Slotting - 3 Rec Red
From the Secondary Traps Set:
Web Grenade - Pretty sure you don't have a choice with this one, I think its your only option. Good for stopping runners though
Slotting - 1 ACC / 1 Immob Dur
Caltrops - Great power for chokepoints and keeping mobs together longer. Although when used they clearly run every direction, I have found that this keeps them closer longer so AOE can dot he most dmg. Only negative I have found is you can have a mob target you after using this if your not careful.
Slotting - 1 Enh Slow
Triage Beacon - I am mixed on this right now, juts added it with my latest respec to give it a shot. I imagine it will be useful in base raids and if you know where your going to be fighting ex: a chokepoint in a map or something like that. Only really helpful if its down before the fighting begins as its not really going to help if your already getting beaten on. Secondly as the bots prefer ranged attacks, you can keep them together more and in the range of the beacon. Jury is still out on this one.
Slotting - 3 Heal
Force Field Generator- I have found this to be immensly useful for helping to prevent status effects, and the extra defense is nice as well.
Slotting - 3 Def Buf
Power Pools
Leadership Pool:
Manuevers - More defense.
Slotting - 3 End Red / 3 Def Buf
Tactics - Helpful for additional ACC and seeing invisd enemies.
Slotting - 3 End Red / 3 TH Buff
Assault - More damage.
Slotting - 3 End Red
Concealment Pool:
Stealth - Always toggled to help def and avoid aggro.
Slotting - 3 End Red / 3 Def Buf
Grant Invisibility - Good for extra pet def, team def.
Slotting - 3 Def Buf
Phase Shift - Basically an Oh @#$%&! power. I am still out on this power have not used it much, but when active my understanding is you can't be hit for 30 secs. Good for getting away to a safe place to recall bots.
Slotting - 1 Rec Red
Medicine Pool:
Aid Other - Useful for extra pet healing in a pinch
Slotting - 3 Heal
Flight Pool:
Hover - Good for extra def while hovering over battle.
Slotting - 3 Def Buf
Flight - My travel Power of choice.
Slotting - 3 Flight Speed[/B]
This is just my $.02, I am sure there are many different builds out there for these power sets. Feel free make comments as I am always up for suggestions.
