RoboCop doesn't pass Bechdel test... Shocker, I know.

Only conversation between women I could find was where one unnamed lab worker asks another if she wants something to drink (which she doesn't).

Does not pass the test, but Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen) is a strong female character. Gender is never becomes a topic - female and male do the same roles equally.

Scott disagreed with the rating and said:
I think neil is wrong. I think that scene counts. Admittedly, one of the characters is credited as Technician 1, but the other is Credited Tyler and has a fairly substantial role. Tyler seems to be to have a leadership role in turning "Murphy" into "RoboCop" and has a good bit of screen time. Also, Technician 1 asks Tyler if she wants something to eat not if she wants something to drink; this scene is about 45 minutes into the film.
