problems with a robot strikezone is it would kill pitching and turn baseball into a 10-9 batter's massacre every night. An unmoving, rigid K zone would be quickly learned by batters and take a lot of the swing and miss away from pitchers. Batters wouldn't have to protect away nearly as much as they do now.

Not true. They can adjust the box for each player. The one you see on TV, not sure about that one. Just watched a segment of HBO Real Sports last night about the electronic strike zone and they played a game using it and all the players said that they liked it and it was seamless.
A Yale professor did a ton of research on it and his results are fascinating.
Try to catch this segment if you can.
