Hi all, we know that droidekas provide cover since they are vehicles, but unsure if it should be heavy or light when in wheel mode. I would be inclined to say they always provide light cover (since they have legs, not treads or wheels), but it seems there could be an argument for them providing heavy cover (especially since there is technically a whole other model for wheel mode).

Rules we are refering to are on page 29 of the rule book.

Would really like to get opinions on this!

The whole other model is completely optional, as opposed to using the token per the rules on page 79.
Therefore, I would say the intention is the droideka always counts as a walking vehicle, especially as turning into a ball isn't really a "wheeled" vehicle...
Still, probably worth sending in here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/contact/rules/
Questions sent in that way often end up in the FAQ, and from there lead to clarifications in the RRG.
