So we have an "Iron Gods" campain going and im looking to make an archer character... I was wondering if there was a way to have or make.... or if there is already tech style arrows???
Similar to "Mage Shot" for guns, thunderstone arrows, tanglefoot bag arrows, and the like. Kinda like "Hawkeye" character.
Advise and suggestions? Is it possible or too far out there?

There are Tangleshot arrows, slow burn arrows, trip arrows, incendiary arrows, and more.
On AoN, you can find arrows under ammunition and alchemical weapons.
Arrows can also be enhanced by magic like other weapons, or made from special materials like cold iron or adamantine.
Investing skill ranks in craft (alchemy) and craft (bows) will usually be good enough for GM to let you create such arrows.
Some class abilities or spells can boost your options as well to mimic such specialized arrows.

I think you'll need a catapult to launch several chainsaws with the trigger duct taped...
other than that, using a compound long bow with cold iron arrows with various blanches, various ammo like acid arrows*, blunt arrows, a couple of adamantine arrows (61gp) should do the trick.
Monk archetype zen archer is good, or a ranger with favored enemy robots or constructs (ask your GM FIRST)... destruction domain springs to mind, or a 'rust' druid... golembane scarab might be handy but it's rather specific

If using weapon blanch, check with the GM that it works against hardness, because as written it does not. "The blanching gives the weapon the ability to bypass one kind of material-based damage reduction, such as adamantine, cold iron, or silver." No mention of hardness at all.
You can also buy about 40 durable admantine arrows, they will not break unless deliberately broken by the enemy.
Robots are constructs, i don't see why FE:Constructs would not work against robots. Construct bane is a good weapon enchantment for your bow.
I don't remember many golems in the AP, the scarab would not help against robots.
What was a bit bummer in Iron Gods was that tech weapons seemed to be almost useless against the robots. Hardness and resistances made them practically impervious to most tech weapons.
