As if Daleks are the only robots[^] having a hard time ...
What I always wanted to know was: why did nobody think to fix their eyes? They spent so much time with the eye light bouncing from side to side, it's no damn wonder they couldn't shoot straight. :doh:

I think that's actually another severe case of the stormtrooper effect. The Cylons, just like the stormtroopers in Star Wars, are supposed to be the toughest guys they have, usually appear in large numbers and still can't hit the broad side of a barn when a camera is pointed at them. Or perhaps it's just Heisenberg. Something like ' When a stormtrooper's or Cylon's laser shot is observed, you can determine when he's going to fire, but not where it's going to hit'.

In the case of the Storm Troopers, it's actually pretty simple. What the clone masters didn't tell Palpatine was that the storm troopers would have a giant creche mind. Therefore any one storm trooper would fire from the point-of-view of some random storm trooper in the vicinity, making it almost impossible for him to hit any target unless he was in single combat. The same thing may be true of the Daleks, I don't know.
