I definitely found a yt video on how to make one. It's not hard.

Problem is besides probably being illegal in your area its an easy way to accidentally fry yours or your neighbours electronics.

That being said, there are physical countermeasures they could design into these robots that would probably be able to withstand anything DIY scale.

    probably being illegal in your area

    We're talking about a hypothetical scenario of disabling the killer robots that are deployed to put down civilians. If they're deploying the robots in the first place, they've already decided you're doing something illegal; at that point, operating within strictly legal parameters offers no benefit.

    is it something that can be attached to an RC car or drone? it's just the classic army vs insurgent play then

    So like the handheld one on the video could be. I'm assuming the radius and intensity of the EMP will be linked to the size of the battery used.

    As such I would expect design elements such as a Faraday Cage or EMP resistant paint/exterior could protect from anything that size.
