You'd think they'd just hover all the damn time. Mabye they will in their inevitable appearances in the new series.

Skaro is in the TV movie, so I think they've had to work around that in the books (by making the planet New Skaro/altering the timeline/whatnot). Those globes all over a Dalek are sensor domes, I believe. And as to why they don't hover all the time, well, it's not very energy efficient. Plus BBC budget and all. There's a scene in "The Chase" (a really early Hartnell Dalek story, around 1965) where they clearly imply that the Daleks can acend stairs with no problems. We first see them actually hovering in Colin Baker's Dalek story (Revelation of the Daleks, I think), around 1986. And we actually honest-to-god see them floating up a flight of stairs in the really quite good Rememberence of the Daleks (McCoy, 1988). And I've probably got all those story names wrong, too.
