This is a different take on the normal robots deck, but still good. +1
To improve it i would take out both of the Spellskite mainboard to go up one Etched Champion and up one Arcbound Ravager . Broodstar is good in the deck but personally i would either replace it with Master of Etherium or free up the space. Swap 4x Frogmite for 4x Springleaf Drum . - the sword for another Mox Opal , change Steelshaper's Gift for Dispatch .
for the sideboard -2x Phyrexian Metamorph for 1 Rest in Peace and 1 Grafdigger's Cage and -2x Master of Etherium and -1x Spellsnare for +3x Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek .

Kyresh Thanks for all the advice, sorry for responding waaaaaay later than I should have.I did switch out the Spellskite in my main for the Ravager and the Champion.I think Frogmite is a better choice than Springleaf Drum because I don't have mana problems, and I would rather play an artifact creature. I honestly couldn't afford another Mox Opal so if you have a different suggestion I'm listening.
As for my sideboard, it's the same thing. I can't really go out and buy three Thoughtseize s, so maybe suggest something not so expensive?

I really do not think that the sword/ gift thing is worth it (also valid for broodstar - restrictive casting cost, master of etherium is the same, sans flying). I would much rather see 1 more steel overseer, and 3 masters in the main.

The lone Broodstar could be Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas . While not as good in Modern Affinity, one of could be a fantastic bonus. I'm not digging Frogmite in Modern Affinity. You have better options. Try Spellskite mainboard as a 2x of at least. It'll help win more game 1.
Dispatch is better spot removal for you than Dismember . You'd be better off with Thoughtseize in your sideboard than Frozen Aether.
I have a good friend, PhyrexianPlague, that runs Modern Affinity. I know the deck quite well lol.

Thirst for Knowledge or Thoughtcast would help just considering you have 12 0 drops and 8 1 drops. Your hand must be depleted pretty quickly.

Loyalty You don't think the Serum Visions will do the job? Add it in along with the Thoughtcast maybe? Thirst for Knowledge might be too expensive for an instant...but I do have a lot of land cards.I haven't played in a while, so I hope all the questions are okay

Only issue with Serum Visions is that it's only really replacing itself. The scry is nice I guess.. It really depends how long you expect your games to go for. If you're wanting to swing for lethal by T3/4 then maybe the thirst and thoughtcast aren't good options.

Loyalty I'd like them to be quick games, yeah. Maybe I just need to playtest with both?

That's the best way to make any deck. Try new things, playtest, and be critical. If something isn't working, try something else. Another interesting option is Courier's Capsule.

Hey Loyalty do you think it would be wise to remove the Memnite and replace it with Signal Pest?

Thoughtcast over Serum Visions, by far. Seriously, Thoughtcast is much better than Visions. Visions is actually just a little too slow. Having more cards is much better than card quality in these style of decks. In addition, Courier's Capsule is at a bad spot in the mana, where you'd much rather be playing a Arcbound Ravager or a Steel Overseer. I'd take them out for 2 Memnite and 1 more land. Also, Galvanic Blast is not a terrible card to have, either.
