I have long attested that whatever sci fi can think up, humans will eventually create.

    That Boston dynamics robot runs at like 4 miles an hour. The fastest robot dog runs at like almost 12 or something.

    Average running speed for humans is between 6.4 and 8 mph depending on gender, etc. And if the obesity rates are correct, I think that it’s probably a lot lower and for incredibly short bursts if anything.

    Here’s the record.

          Yep. Just start burning the bodies of the weak and elderly every week. Then only the strongest survive. …

      Isn’t there a cheetah bot that can burn a good clip. Dunno what its carrying capacity is, but I remember it could out run puny protestors.

        After looking it up, it says about 8.86 mph after converting from 13 feet per second. Some sites say it’s 13 mph, but I trust wired when they state 13 feet per second.
