Senate Cam Droid
this was the generic term used to describe the small, repulsor-equipped droids which monitored the Senate proceedings of the Old Republic. Built to be unobtrusive, these droids had audio and video pickups which allowed them to provide real-time coverage of the Seante's proceedings. The coverage was also recorded for future reference. Audio was fed to a central conputer, which could then provide translated audio to the other Senators. A small number of these droids were assigned to individual Senators, while the majority were allowed to move about the chamber and record the debates.
