Forum:KB:STAP'S (clone wars)

So I have a question (obviously). The Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) during the Clone Wars used these devices called STAP's. They were also used in the Battle of Naboo in the Naboo Crisis.

Why did the STAP's have to have a droid operate them? Why couldn't the STAP's be operational alone as it's own droid? Cause like Vulture droids were droids by themselves and didn't need a pilot, but the STAP's do?! How does that work? Wouldn't it also cause less casaulties if the STAP was destroyed? Only the vehicle would be destroyed, not the droid as well?

Thanks for the help everyone.
