BotJunkie Contest: What Do You Call A Group Of Robots?
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 16 of July , 2009 at 7:38 am
Now that we’ve been around for two years and a thousand posts, we can at least pretend that we’ve got some credibility when it comes to writing about robots. With that in mind, it’s high time that we came up with a collective noun for a group of robots. What’s a collective noun? Well, for example, you can have a herd of elephants. Or a colony of bats. You can also have a business of ferrets, a shrewdness of apes, a crash of rhinos, an ostentation of peacocks, or a murder of crows.
But there’s no such term for a group of robots, so we need to come up with something good. Something appropriately robot-y. In the past, by way of example, I’ve suggested an “autonomy” of robots, but I’m sure you can do better. And if you can, you can win stuff:
Our grand prize is a VEXplorer kit from Trossen Robotics. The VEXplorer is easy to build and customize, and includes a gripper arm and a camera that can broadcast images and sound back to your TV.
The runner up gets a WowWee TriBot. This is the big one, not the little one, and it comes with a tilt sensitive remote, guard function, homing function, and a bunch of games.
We’ll also be awarding some glow in the dark weRobot t-shirts from Chop Shop, featuring a ___ of 51 robots. These shirts are brand new, and feature a couple robots not seen on the original version. And did I mention that the robots have glow in the dark bits?
Here are the rules:
How do I enter? Leave a comment that includes “a ___ of robots” and fill in the blank with the most creative/appropriate collective noun of your choice. Keep it work safe. You may enter more than one collective noun but no more than three (we’ll be checking), but each comment can only have one entry, so keep them separate. If two different people enter the same collective noun, only the first one to post the comment will count.
Who can enter? Anyone. You don’t have to be a US resident or anything like that.
Who wins? This is not a random contest: if you enter something lame, it’s probably not going to win, unless it’s really funny. We have a panel of eminently qualified judges, including David Calkins (founder of RoboGames), Lem Fugitt (from Robots Dreams, a most excellent robot blog), and Steve Rainwater, founding editor of Robots.net. Each judge will pick their personal favorite entry, which will win a weRobots shirt, and we’ll come to a consensus on the overall winners.
When does it end? The contest will run one week, and commenting on this post will be closed sometime after midnight next Thursday night. We’ll announce the winner the following Monday.
Special thanks to Trossen Robotics and Chop Shop for sponsoring this contest; you should go buy their awesome robots/shirts even if you don’t win. But you’ll win. If you’re in need of inspiration, here’s a place to start. Good luck!
We’ve closed the contest, and we should have winners for you on Monday.

Come to think of it, a collective noun for Robots would be a “Community of Robots”. (Community as in social group, a society), i.e. a “Society of Robots” … But then how big is this group you wish to define? … On a bigger scale it becomes a “Population of Robots” or a “Civilization of Robots”.
(Or if you prefer a more formal definition, as in social anthropology, it becomes a “Sodality of Robots” … Sodality as in a non-kin group organized for a specific purpose. Another name for Sodality is a fellowship or brotherhood, which sounds more easily interpreted as friendly).

Good work Evan & Co. on 1k posts. That takes a lot of dedication.
And, after much thought, I’ve decided a group of robots should be called a “raggle”, as in:
“Save me! A raggle of laser-wielding, flesh eating, binary speaking robots is chasing me!”
M’kay?

LukeHoser already said byte, but couldn’t the size of the group of robots affect the term used to describe them?
a megabyte of robots would be much more menacing than a byte of robots. A petabyte of robots would probably mean the end of humanity’s reign on earth (assuming that the robots were not subject to the three laws).

If you had a group of robot elephants, would you call it something other than a “herd?” No.
If you had a group of robot seagulls, would you call it something other that a “flock?” No.
For instance, if there were a group of Boston Dynamic’s Bid Dogs, they should probably be called a “pack.”
So I am led to believe that a group of robots, like a group of animals, will be named depending upon their types/functions.
