I felt it was pandering to the public's perception of what's logical and robotic
without really thinking it through. If the only concerns are drone networking
(and defense) then a sphere is the only logical shape, because it is the one
that gives the most advantage. There has to be a reason to deviate from a
spherical design, and I reckon the reason is "it looks more robotic" :)
