A flock of robots? A herd? A bunch? A school?
Enquiring minds want to know.

Well, ninja robots come in armies and turtles come in herds. Could we be more specific about what _kind_ of robots? Maybe a flock of floor scrubbers? Or a threat of security guards? -- Ken -- Dr. Kenneth I. Laws; (415) 493-7390; laws@ai.sri.com. Ask about my AI/IS/CS newsletter, The Computists' Communique.

Seems to me you have to distinguish between fixed base manipulators
which are often found in groups and mobile devices. The first
could be regarded as a 'Grip of manipulators', and the second
a 'Stagger of walkers' or a 'Roll of wheelers' based upon the type.
My $0.02.
Is all.
