Didn't we come here on a Cheetah?

It seems every week I see a story that confirms my belief that science is out to kill us. Whether it's Zombies, Robots or Robot Zombies they're always working on something that's just one random lighting bolt or radioactive spider away from killing everyone. This week it's Robot Cheetahs.

Professor Sangbae Kim designer of the Stickybot and a Robotic designer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Is trying to understand how he can replicate natural animal mechanisms by creating a robot inspired by the cheetah.

The idea is to build a prototype robot from a construction of lightweight carbon-fiber-foam that will then be able to match the cheetah's speed of 70 miles per hour.

When Skynet takes over how am I supposed to get away from a 70 mph carbon fiber cheetah? When building robots scientists need to start using the same criteria I have for adopting pets. Never own a pet you can't take in a fight and never build a robot you can't easily smash with a hammer. Think of all the trouble that would have saved Hank Pym.
