You should totally submit this to Nature or Science!
It's a pretty awesome experiment. It's kind of an advanced version of the Prisoner's Dilemma game, with some self organisation theory stuff thrown in.

It really depends on the code they've used... if they've included code for recognition of other robots, and preservation of kin/own "genetic" code, eventually, at a colony level, the "liar" robots would be at a disadvantage as they'd be lied to by "non-liar" robots.
ImRonBurgundy?:
It says in the article that they've formed colonies, and that the robots who die signal danger to the other robots, so there's obviously some level of inter-robot recognition. Whether that extends to recognition of particular individuals, though, is the question to consider there.

When these learn to lie, we will have less than 5 years.
