The Droid's processor isn't located in the Droid; instead, the Droid is actually a drone for a Remote Processor. The processor equipped with a transmitter that allows a Droid equipped with the appropriate Remote Receiver to operate as far away as 5 km (for the least expensive model) to as much as 5,000 km (for the most expensive model).
The advantage of a Remote Processor is that it makes the Droid much less expensive because it only needs a receiver instead of a local control system. The drawback is that the Droid doesn't react as quickly as a Droid with an internal Processor, so it suffers a -2 penalty to its Dexterity.
