Recently, Lafforgue introduced a new strengthening of Banach property (T), which he called strong Banach property (T) and showed that this property has implications regarding fixed point properties and Banach expanders. In this paper, we introduce a new strengthening of Banach property (T), called "robust Banach property (T)", which is weaker than strong Banach property (T), but is still strong enough to ensure similar applications. Using the method of averaged projections in Banach spaces and introducing a new notion of angles between projections, we establish a criterion for robust Banach property (T) and show several examples of groups in which this criterion is fulfilled. We also derive several applications regarding fixed point properties and Banach expanders and give examples of these applications.
