Hi anon!
Personally I do not think it is considered "dangerous" as robos are pretty much diversified. And I've also started using robos before saving up for my emergency funds. However, do take note that the amount you've invested has to be comfortable for you NOT to withdraw it out because you have obligations to meet.
Emergency savings is just as important as investing, while it is good that you started early, it is also wise to start building your emergency funds asap as well. :)

My suggestion for you is to continue investing and concurrently build up your emergency fund. You can achieve this easily by reallocation your contribution. By doing so, you wouldn't be losing out potention investment gain and also have a peace of mind.
