Background:

Responding to the introduction of the RMS-006 Jenice, by the Space Revolutionary Army, the Earth Federation, which is the military branch of the United Nations of Earth, began it's own mobile suit development projects. With large numbers of their fleet units falling prey to Jenice attacks, the Federation rushed their prototype unit, the Dautap, into production. The design was borrowed from a standard construction pod, in use in the pre-war era.
More a systems test bed, than a full fledged combat unit. The ball shaped Dautap was equipped with a bell mounted 80mm cannon, and 2 arms. Numerous maneuvering jets were mounted over the surface of the ball, making it easy to spin in any direction. Although equiped for hand to hand combat, the arms of the Dautap had slower reaction times compared with later mobile suits, and were, at best, suited for grappling. The Dautap, also, was slow, and poorly armed compared to the Jenice, and had to be depolyed in massive numbers in the attempt to counter the Jenice.
The introduction of the first true mobile suit, the DT-6800 Daughtress, by the Federation, spelled the doom of the Dautaps production. Hundreds if not thousands of these unit still are in use on both sides of the conflict, as well as in private hands.
The DT-6600U is the underwater version of the Dautap is in use by ORC forces in Gundam X.

[1]The Sensor Unit and Hands are small targets , and are difficult to hit, so, even with a called shot, they are -3 to hit.
[2]Destroying the Sensor Unit will disrupt the Dautap's ability to receive radio signals and has a 50% chance of destroying the radar and laser tracking systems. This will eliminate the bonuses for Strike and Dodge.
[3]Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will disable the Dautap.
