No, none of it has to go to Robin. Read the licensing guide.

You can sell this game and sell VIP accounts. You don't need to pay Robin. If you don't use own or free graphic you need to pay graphics creator. So if you have your team and you make everything by own you don't need to pay anyone.

I write correctly?? I am bad in English :P

The amount of ignorance here is astonishing. This is basic law, people.

Regardless of whether you make money from a project or not you have to have permission to use your resources.

In terms of the engine itself simply look at the license agreement. You can do whatever you want as long as you're following that.

Not entirely true.

First of all, you need permission for every single resource you are using, which you have already indicated. Permission can only be acquired by asking the original author, with the potential inclusion of fees to be paid for the work (and this is not rare). If the permission is, somehow, not acquirable, you are not able to use that resource. Also, you will need quite some contracts, otherwise it isn't justifiable, which is very important.

Second is that you have to pay for licences and patents such as the MP3 patent (Thompson et al.). This can be quite expensive, and you might especially be interested in reading the Eclipse licensing thread.

Third is that Eclipse has an EULA, which can be considered void unless you have accepted it. The EULA is in the Eclipse licensing thread, where it shouldn't be. In fact, it should be right before installation (right before installation, otherwise it can be considered void, commercial products shouldn't have the EULA present before installation, but before purchase, otherwise it can be taken to court), download (right before downloading, otherwise it can be considered void, if not present during installation) or purchase (in stores, Microsoft Windows' EULA and various others can be considered void; important fact: when you agree with the EULA, you cannot return the software, if you disagree with the EULA, then you must return the software).

Fourth is that you must have a company registered in your country. Without you are not allowed to sell commercial products of any sort, and you are, in fact, guilty of tax evasion, which can cost you quite a lot, if caught. My recommendation is therefore to register a company within your country, before even attempting to sell commercial products. On top of that, you'll have to have consent from your parents if you are under the age of eighteen, or you will have to be eighteen years old or older (which might in fact differ per country).

Yours faithfully

And most (not all) of that can be avoided if you make a free game with a donation jar.
