Why does the phrase "Stupid Robot Tricks" come to mind. The one on the left looks a little worse for wear. Now they need to get the robot that the robot built to build a robot.
I think the evolutionary concept of 'fitness' is a better quantitative measure of the ability to self-replicate.
In a environment where multiple types of organisms compete for scarce resources, the organism which generates the most progeny (in the long run) is the most fit.
