Robots.txt redirect issue


Question

So I have a website (http://stattik.net/) that I am trying to get setup with SEO as I really want to start it.  The website uses angular with routing to handle navigation.  I modified the .htaccess so that any images, css, icons, txt, xml, etc will not be routed through the index.html page however for some reason 

http://stattik.net/robots.txt keeps redirecting me back to the home page.  However http://stattik.net/sitemap.xml doesn't redirect nor does http://stattik.net/test.txt

 

Here is my entire .htaccess

 

RewriteEngine On

  Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On

	#robots.txt
    RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ http://stattik.net/robots.txt [NC]
    
	#make www. link to non-www.
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.stattik\.net$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/stattik\.net\/" [R=301,L]
    
    #any images, js, css,robots,sitemap,etc don't use the index.html
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(img|js|css|txt|ico|xml)
    RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

    #disable libwww-perl
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl.* 
    RewriteRule .* ? [F,L]

    #Cache static content for 6 months
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresByType image/png A15552000
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg A15552000
    ExpiresByType image/ico A15552000
    ExpiresByType text/javascript A15552000
    ExpiresByType text/css A15552000

Anyone have any ideas what could be going on?

Loads for me in Chrome and Microsoft Edge - out of interest, remove the empty Disallow statement from your robots.txt, then try.

Yea, it's acting weird.  Seems fine in IE but not chrome.  Not sure what's going on with it.

It's a caching issue probably, it's automatically completing the redirect on chrome to save time. Clear out the necessary cache and give it another go. Chances are that'll fix the issue since others are able to see it - which tells me the code is just fine.
