Despite his Premier League and international pedigree, Robinson has had to bide his time for Cardiff in League One this season.
Only four of his 18 league appearances have been starts but he has still been able to contribute four league goals and six in all competitions.
"At the moment, every minute I get, I'm trying to push to play, to start and to play more and more games like any professional would," said Robinson.
"I've just got to keep my head down and train how I've been training all season and try to help and affect games, and hopefully Brian \[Barry-Murphy, Cardiff head coach\] will give me more minutes and more chances."
If Robinson starts against Chelsea, there will be no better time to further his case for more regular Cardiff starts – and to burnish his already enviable record against Chelsea.
"Hopefully it will be the same tomorrow," he added. "They're different circumstances, obviously, we're in League One, but we're doing really well as a group.
"It's a big test to see what we can do tomorrow night against a team where we all would want to be.
"Magic stuff can happen in the cup and we're going into it with great form. We've got nothing to lose. We'll give it a go in our own way."
