DUM-series pit droid/Legends

DUM-series pit droids were droids made by Serv-O-Droid and constructed on Cyrillia for use in repair and light construction. They were seen primarily on Tatooine in Watto's Shop and at the Boonta Eve Classic working on podracers. Pit droids were 1.19 meters tall and came in several different colors. Pit droids had an amazing amount of strength, able to lift many times their own weight. They could also repair a broken-down podracer at remarkable speeds.



Pit droids could spring into a compact, disk-shaped package. A tap on their nose would signal them to spring back into shape. Using the antenna on their disk shaped heads they could communicate with other droids. Pit droids would also pick up the pieces of podracers that have blown apart. This action could be quite hazardous, as the droids could be hit by podracers. This happened during the Boonta Eve Classic. Pit droids were cheaply produced, so this was allowed to happen.

Once, while the racer, Gasgano was prepairing his podracer for the Mos Espa Podrace. A single DUM-series pit droid began to walk in front of his podracer. By force the pit droid was sucked into the engine and "regurgitated" out the opposite end of the green engine and left-over junk parts were blown away, just before the race began.
