If you had read the books, (Which I did at about 13), you
know that the rovers were fluidic robots.  In the book
'The Prisoner' the bouncing balls were color coded for
specific function: ground based guardian, flying guardian,
amphibious guardian, and so forth.  The white robots were
the only ones that could kill.  (Which they did by digesting
the victim; leaving only metal parts behind.  Ugh!)  I guess
they decided to make them all white in the series.  Or
am I missing something, due to a black and white tv?

Shouldn't we move this to net.tv before the drwho-but-not-prisoner
fans get vicious?
