The only mistake he made, as I see it, is that he sent the Golem Twins after you in the Ocean Palace and not skipping straight to the Golem Boss; the really smart thing for him to do would have been, upon his weakest minion's failure, to then send his strongest. However, if he really is as incompetent as you make him out to be, then your explanation on how he got his job is the best explanation.
Maybe he was clever or smart, but really more arrogant than anything. And did he stay to watch them be defeated? I don't think so...I think he assumed they would do them. Which is logical, since unless you're wearing elemental armor, they rape you, hard. At least they did when I was playing through the first time.

And he really just seemed like a guy who is in a very high position and knows he shouldn't be, because he's really not qualified, but he doesn't want everyone else to know this. And only the Queen seems to tolerate him really, so I assume she played a rather large part in him getting where he was.

Finally, I refuse to even imagine that there was anything even remotely sexual between Lucca and Robo. Just . . . no.
Well, we can all agree how sexually frustrated Lucca was. And since her entire life has been devoted to machines, I doubt she would be really weirded out by it. And Robo did pretty much say he would do anything to serve her. Think about it!
