There are two main ways in which the word 'robust' is used, consequently there are two sets of opposites:-1. robust = strong (of things, people, systems, arguments etc) Some opposites: weak, feeble, frail, inadequate, infirm, rickety, sapless, soft, unhealthy, vulnerable. 2. robust = full-bodied (of wine) Some opposites: bland, tasteless, insipid.
+ and - are opposites for example 6 and -6 are opposites
Like two opposites together in a valid word as in: Living dead Jumbo shrimp [And more]
To use the word opposite it means that two things are extremely different and that there is nothing similar between the two items. An example is, opposites attract.
It is zero and that is simply because that is how additive opposites are defined.
Binary opposites are a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. Binary opposites are two opposite modes, like on or off, left or right.

Opposites attract
Their total is zero.
