                    BATTLEFIELD REPAIR DROID
     Designed to fill the repair function that astromech droids
provide to starfighters, battlefield repair droids are designed
to repair and maintain combat hovertanks and walkers.  They are
more mobile than astromech droids, and have no mounting.  Rather,
they are expected to move across the surface of the vehicle they
are assigned to, and repair problems as they encounter them. 
They have become quite popular over the last few years, and up to
five of them can be seen on a single walker, leading to their
common name of "tickbirds" which they do resemble.
