Robotic;Notes is a good show, but classifying it as "mecha" is quite the stretch. If a show doesn't include a major protagonist donning a mechanized battle suit within the first five episodes or so, then that doesn't really make me think "mecha".
AKB0048 is more of an idol show than a mecha show.

Really, you can include Vividred Operation as well.

VRO is more of a magical girl show (with a sci-fi feel) than a mecha show. What giant robot is being piloted in VRO? By a protagonist?

There's pretty much a mini-Renaissance going on for mecha anime.

No, it's not. Again, where's the recent equivalent to Code Geass? Or TTGL? Or NGE? A mecha Renaissance should involve at least something comparable to one of those three. We don't even have a long-running weekly Gundam show right now.
