The legs are not anatomically correct to be sure, what are supposed to be it's front legs have the joint facing the wrong way, not to mention al the legs are missing a joint or two. Obviously the name cheetah was only mean to reference its speed. I suppose the speed is impressive, but conducting the test on a treadmill has it's own flaws because it's quite different than having the robot move on its own (Try running 30 minutes on a treadmill one day, that running the same amount and speed around a track the next and you'll see what I mean)
