No, I haven't. I don't think that would be a very desireable category
name.

Hmm. These parts *should* be under a Minifig category, but not
necessarily the general Minifig category. Then again, two of these
parts are used for the LOM Martians, along with a couple of other
related parts -- so these qualify as "figure" pieces, not just "robot"
pieces. So maybe they should be in the general Minifig category.
Plus, we've already got the astromech leg:
30362.DAT Minifig Robot Leg
So how about these names:
30375.DAT Minifig Robot Torso
(this piece has no clips, but should it still have a 'Clip-on' tag?)
30376.DAT Minifig Robot Legs Clip-on
30377.DAT Minifig Robot Arm Clip-on
30378.DAT Minifig Robot Head SW Battle Droid
(this is a very specific mold, so the 'Battle Droid' tag is alright)
Later on, if we got enough 'Minifig Robot' parts, it could be spawned
off into an official (sub)category. But then we'd be back to the
problem of the LOM Martians using the 'robot' parts. :\
