The Bathurst rider claimed gold in the individual pursuit, Keirin, points race and 500m time trial - the latter in which she was just one hundredth off claiming a national record.
Robinson, 13, began her weekend by bettering the rest of the field by more than seven seconds in her individual pursuit qualifier, riding 2:44.356.
However, second placed rider Anna Dubier improved her time greatly in her gold medal ride against Robinson.
Robinson went quicker than her qualifying effort, in 2:43.401, to beat Dubier to the gold medal by 0.67 seconds.
The pair were once again at the head of the field in the Keirin final later in the day, where Robinson once again narrowly had Dubier's measure.
The most dominant win of the weekend for Robinson came the next day in the 500m time trial.
Her time of 37.350 put her on the cusp of a new record time and saw her beat the rest of the field by more than three seconds.
Robinson rounded her campaign out by narrowly beating Dubier to the points gold medal, 13 to 11.
"I went there making sure I had fun and having friendly competition with the girls and just to see how much the hard work had paid off," Robinson said.
"I was really happy with the times. Marian [Renshaw, coach] has helped me work on those, and I was able to get a couple of PBs. The 500m was the highlight.
"With COIVID there's been less racing lately so I wasn't too sure of what the competition would be like. I just went there and tried my best. They all raced really well and it was a good competition."
Bathurst Cycling Club's junior team all had reasons to be pleased with their time on the Dunc Gray boards.
Charlotte Lovett finished with top 10 performances throughout the event. Lovett came close to making it two Bathurst riders on the under 15s girls points podium but just missed out on joining Robinson.
Her older brother Cadel made a great impression in his first year of under 17s riding, also coming close to a points race medal when he finished fifth.
Lara Allen showed lots of promise as a first year under 15s girls cyclist, scoring personal best times in the pursuit and time trial.
On Monday Robinson's sister Kalinda and Tyler Puzicha were named in the NSW team for the Under 19s and Elite Track National Championships.
