"On the Baroonda track it was a busy day for the salvage droids, which scoured two square kilometers collecting Podracer pieces belonging to the late Turbo McMerrit."
The P-100 was a multi-armed salvage droid commonly deployed from the underside of a large transport craft. They were largely used to retrieve scrap parts from crash sites on podrace courses. Once the P-100 droids were reloaded into the holding arm, it would return to the main podrace arena to drop off collected parts. If an owner did not claim their parts within two hours they would either be auctioned or sold, often to Jawas.
Smaller variants of this model were used for the transport of luggage and other small cargo.[1]
