Treaded unipod
A treaded unipod was a type of locomotor[1] that facilitated movement through the utilization of a single tread.[2] However, they were slow and tended to break down. The R1-series astromech droid, a model of astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton that reused the frame of the Mark II reactor drone, was equipped with a treaded unipod leg.[1]
