I guess it's actually more likely that if labor and capital are no longer limiting factors, then resources would be the limiting factor. Robots would be able to gobble up all the available resources and turn them into end-products, so the actual likely scenario is that you'd have a robot sitting around doing nothing because you have no resource inputs. Sort of like how a computer spends most of its time today sitting idle, because there's nothing productive for it to be doing.
