The weakest tropical storm on record is Tropical Storm Marco, which formed in August 2020. It had maximum sustained winds of only 40 mph (65 km/h) and was notable for its quick dissipation, making it one of the least impactful storms in terms of strength and damage. Marco's low intensity and short duration highlight the variability of tropical systems and their potential effects on coastal regions.
The weakest storm named is typically a tropical depression, which has sustained winds up to 38 mph (62 km/h). These storms have the potential to develop into more intense tropical storms or hurricanes if conditions are favorable.
A tropical depression is the weakest level of tropical cylone. Such a system has a fairly organized circulation but does not produce tropical storm force winds.
A hurricane will start as a Tropical Wave. It then becomes a Tropical Depression. A TD is given a number but not a name. Once the TD reaches 39 mile per hour winds its given a name and becomes a Tropical Storm. After reaching 74 mile per hour winds it becomes a hurricane.
No. There is no record of a hurricane or tropical storm named Robin.
No, a tropical storm and a tropical cyclone are different stages of development in a tropical weather system. A tropical storm can evolve into a tropical cyclone if it intensifies further in terms of wind speeds, typically reaching sustained winds of at least 74 mph.

No, they are different intensity levels of tropical system. The weakest, a tropical depression, has less than 39 mph winds. A tropical storm has 39-73 mph winds. A hurricane has 74 mph winds or greater.

Not exactly. A tropical storm is indeed a kind of storm, but not all storms are tropical storms.

Tropical Storm Arlene was simply a tropical storm. That is a category unto itself.
Pablo never became a hurricane. It was only ever a tropical storm.
