Robots are People 2.0 is, unfortunately, sold out, but you can read the whole thing online at the Blackglass Press link. (Just click through to preview).
Robots #1 and #3 were published by Greg Vondruska, the editor, not by Blackglass Press, so we I can't offer those to you--but Greg Vondruska and Jason Franks are presently looking at bringing all of these robot stories back into print, perhaps as a single volume with some new material.
