There's an interesting thing about Dorothy: She is linked by the megadeus. First she serve as a "power" for Dorothy One and when Roger rescue Dorothy, the megadeus is useless/destroyed. Then she activates all by herself archetype but schwarzald said he has disable the fonctions of the robot. In episode 17 Dorothy succeds to communicate with the leviathan and when she refuses "to come with him" he try to kill her. Don't forget that once her core memory unplugged in The Big Fau. It permit to the megadeus to function correctly and when she's connected to the Big O, it activates his more powerful weapon. It is very clear that Wayneright has, one way or the other, recovered his memory to construct Dorothy by including in her some pieces of multiple megadeus plus Dorothy One and Glinda. Wayneright is probably one of those who constructed all those giant robots before the event !

I always assumed she'd been built out of parts of the robot from lost in space.

Yes, Dorothy can link to Megadei

Beck said he used Dorothy as the power regulation circuit. You unplug something in a circuit, and the power can't flow.

Schwarzwald said he had released the lock, and nearly died (this is why he wears the bandages... apparently he was burned in the process). He basically flipped the "on" switch, but nothing happened. Dorothy apparenty hacked it (or maybe it hacked into Dorothy?) somehow and activated it.

For the most part yes, except Glinda really had nothing to do with Dorothy. Glinda was remotely activated, perhaps on Rosewater's orders, when Roger was investigating Wayneright's mansion. It showed no interest in Dorothy... all it did was destroy.
In episode 4, Dorothy states that even Wayneright didn't understand how she worked, and didn't have a complete understanding of the "core" technology. I don't think even Wayneright understood what Dorothy was capable of.

This poses an interesting question.
The only Megadei that didn't want (or would not have wanted) Dorothy in one way or another were Dorothy I, Glinda, and Big Duo.
With the exception of Big Duo; Dorothy I and Glinda are creations of Wayneright. Since Wayneright didn't understand how his technology worked, only that it DID work, perhaps Dorothy I and Glinda are also capable of interfacing with other Megadei, just as Dorothy can.

I think it's more accurate to say that android and Megadeuses go together, and may be intended to be built together as a set. Consider (many of these had already been pointed out):
- Instro was the pilot of Constanze, which could not be piloted without him.
- Dorothy could read the thoughts of the Sea Titan once it became activated.
- Megadeuses that are damaged or distressed in some way seem to use Dorothy to reboot themselves: Dorothy I (controlled crudely by Beck), the Archetype, the Leviathan.
- Glinda was a lightweight, acrobatic Megadeus. Wayneright also built lightweight, acrobatic androids. Part of a set?
- Big O seemed more capable when Dorothy was plugged in. It hardly seems possible that this could work unless such attachments were a standard feature for her type of android.
- Megadeuses who had real pilots (Big O, Constanze, Big Duo) didn't bother trying to take Dorothy over.
