That's still not as functional as calling affinity artifact aggro. "Robots" in particular I think started getting applied to affinity when modern affinity started being a thing. Not as quirky as something like Tin Fins, but still requires one to know something about MtG like how the Robots in affinity is just a colloquial term to characterize how affinity is an artifact creature heavy deck.
