On February 17, 2019, Robb was confirmed to join Juncos Racing as a part of their Indy Pro 2000 roster.[10] After winning two poles in 2019, Robb was confirmed to return to Juncos for the 2020 Indy Pro 2000 season on March 7, 2020.[11]

On July 30, 2020, Robb won his first career Indy Pro 2000 race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.[12] He later swept a three-race weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.[13] Robb claimed one win in a tripleheader weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park in October and secured the championship ahead of the season finale doubleheader at St. Petersburg.[14]
