I think it will be a LONG time before we see any "self replicating" nanobots. Nearly all of the complexity of the little guy will go directly toward making more of them, with nothing left over (or nearly nothing).
Think of a machine shop. What is the min required "machines" in the shop needed in order to manufacture everything present for the purpose of building an identical shop? Now think of doing this on a microscopic scale.
Organic matter is MUCH more efficient when it comes to replicating.
