Yeah, these DO sound a bit like Daleks, huh? But it might be neat to have something like this for urban combat, to scout around and draw fire.
Thunderbirds were late 60s. I was referring to an inferior, juvenile Gerry Anderson production of the (as I recall) late eighties. It had an aggrevating theme song that's especially ironic now . . . "Living in the 21st Century." When things are really cool and futuristic, y'know.

What a lame idea--ever see those pictures of World War II-era street fighting? How would a spherical robot soldier clamber up a pile of rubble? Now, if wars could be conducted solely in bowling alleys, we'd have something! Oh, and the "Thunderbirds" originated back in the '60s or '70s; I remember watching them when I was a boy.

More prior art: A dreadful juvie puppet show Gerry "Thunderbirds" Anderson produced in the eighties.
The Bad Guys had cube-shaped robot warriors.
The Good Guys has spherical ones that talked like WWI era British soldiers.

The war diaries of the late Vaughn Bode' contain sketches of a 'spherical soldier'. One page in particular predicts the 'evolution' of war. In the first frame, a soldier with a rifle. Next, a soldier in heavy body armour with a larger rifle. Finally, a soldier wearing a thin jumpsuit standing next to a hovering ball bristling with guns and antennae. The 'pilotless' Global Hawk vehicle (the US senate recently approved the use of armaments aboard the GH!) and other remotely-piloted attack aircraft demonstrate that this patent has predecessors ... I personally can't wait to see the Boeing YAL-1 (Airborne Laser!) in action. Can someone start throwing rocks at Pakistan, India or China? Thankyou.
