Why would they have to cost money. In this scenario, energy is free (renewable) and the robots, powered by this free renewable energy can provide and maintain the basic necessities of life for everyone in perpetuity. I guess my inability to craft a perfect hypothetical scenario is distracting you from understanding my underlying questions about labor itself so just answer this for me. Is it a moral/ethical imperative that everyone work or contribute to society in some similar way or is requiring labor to survive just a necessity of reality with no moral/ethical implications? Or in another way, should we have a system that requires people to work more than the absolute minimum necessary for survival and does that hold true as the amount of labor necessary for survival approaches 0?
Nothing is free in life. There will never be any such thing as free, renewable energy. There will always be a trade-off.
There will never be such as thing as free items like food, robots, etc. Someone has to put forth the effort to create and build them, and they will require payment for services and products rendered.
A basic principle - anything that someone gets for free, someone else had to pay for.

Communism doesn't deal with a society where the labor cost of survival approaches 0.
