As of this moment, a robot body would be WEAKER than what you have, and that includes rate of breakdown! Ever have one of those robot toys with a remote control arm? Ever try moving, well, anything heavier than a kilo with it? Well, imagine trying to pick up a box only to find your robot arm is making a loud grinding noise and then clicking backwards a bit before grinding forward and clicking back again. Not exactly a way to take over the world... I imagine any butler bot with arms that size using today's technology trying to crush an old lady's head would have the same effect, which I think would be HILARIOUS. Then the robot would be destroyed for giving a bad massage :D.
Oh, well I already SAW that movie then. It was that special I told you about earlier.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
