Currently the robomancer trades away summoned monster and gains bonus spells known for those spell-like abilities all the way up to 17th level. But at 19th level, the summoner gains the ability to use gate as a spell-like ability, and the robomancer doesn't gain a bonus spell known at 19th level.</p>
