A Robot Cheetah that is faster than Usain Bolt

Yes, you read that right.  Boston Dynamics has created a robotic Cheetah that has been clocked at 28.3 miles per hour.  That according to a WebProNews article by Josh Wolford.  His title says it all:  “This Robot Runs Faster than Usain Bolt, Severs All Hope for Humanity.” (Bolt’s top speed equates to 27.29 mph). 

Under Moore’s Echo that Cheetah robot should throw off some cool technology for toys in just a few years.  Now that would be a toy.

If you find this hard to believe, take a look.
