I tried toggling the startup setting Worker droid accepts passengers, it didn't make any difference.

If I comment out control-companions.lua line 78 setting the droid's speed, it no longer crashes and functions as expected. According to the API docs, speed is only writable for units, cars, and projectiles. I checked the latest 1.1 version of the docs and it seems to be the same. I don't know if the droid is meant to be faster or slower than the default, but I'm going to continue playing with it having the default speed.

I note that a Spidertron remote is added to the droid's inventory, but as of 2.0 that's no longer needed. If I move the remote to my inventory it vanishes.

fixed. thanks
