I wouldn't assume they just knew how to create robots, I would imagine it took plenty of time to develop them, just like it would take time to make pretty much anything. I'm not sure it was ever stated that the two clans were neighbours, I believe war broke out because of the expanding borders of both sides, but that's no indication of how close they really were. Granted, they are two tribes of the same race, but perhaps one moved away from the other many years before both started their grab for land and power, who knows.

Point is, Anthros are seem to be cut above humans in terms of physical abilities and, if Knuckles is anything to go by, the Knuckles Clan are as tough as they come, so the Knuckles Clan vs advanced robots may not be as uneven as you may think.
