What's the best faster-start mod? I want to start with robots instead of remaking my base midway through.

Haven’t tried it, but this seems like something you can customize ingame at any time with the builtin map editor.

See the “setting up research” on the editor wiki page:

Edit: you’d probably have to give yourself the necessary modular armor armor, roboport and initial bots.

Try Companion Drones (don't have a link to hand) - gives you a pair of very capable personal drones that can attack/defend as well as filling in blueprints.
