Those engineers need to invent some pretty emergent things to replicate even the most basic motor functions needed to outrun a rat - let alone survive in the harsh environments where they would be working. I've a feeling genetic engineering will catch up to this task first and produce ways to control rat populations in more civilized ways. Most likely as a side product from human medical research - indeed from trying to make us live longer.
With a sufficiently small flying bot the rat wouldn't run away, it doesn't flee from flies or bumblebees after all. It wouldn't know what hit it.
