Yes, this is good positive thinking. I guess it will probably come down to how many robots they decide to send after you. But I'm hearing that our go bags are gonna need like 20lbs of space for anti robot measures.

I came across an article, the battery life on the robot dogs is even worse than I expected, it's just 90 minutes!

The robot can operate on rocky, unsteady terrain, traveling up to 3 mph, with a battery life of about 90 minutes

Only 3mph too. But I'm guessing that will improve to surpass human running speed (on flat terrain) in the next decade. Going in the thick woods and brush would probably guarantee you could outrun it, especially if you ran up a stream or swam across a pond... I doubt those things could handle being in any depth of water, both electrically and in terms of how their programming conducts their balance and movement.

It would be cool if there was emp remote/proxy "mines" a person could throw on the ground that would sent out a strong emp wave when the robot walks over it. That'd be the ultimate defense against robots. Maybe even the mine itself could be a little moving robot that seeks out the big robot by its emf signature strength and places itself nearby before releasing the emp wave that disables both. Using the robots to fight the robots haha
