No reason we couldn't build sentient robots that also have some of the benefits of being made out of meat -- we have the time. I don't see any reason why robots shouldn't evolve over the useful timescales we are discussing.

Shedding gear can be a useful strategy; some animals even use it in extremis.

Meat is a highly evolved 'robot' structural material if you wish...
