So basically, the Battle Droids were never meant to be anything but cannon fodder for the Clone troops and the Jedi.

I used to agree with Jason on this but how I have read it numerous time, Treble's quote sums it up. I haven't read any novelization on this directly from the movies but I took it a step further in how I see it. Sidious's grand scheme was not just to wipe out the Jedi but to make a statement doing it. If he wanted to, he had their judgement in the Force so clouded, he could've killed any one of them (Yoda included) any time he wanted. He actually wanted to give them a false sense of invincibility. I think he purposely commisioned "dummy" droids that would help him overcome the weak but give the Jedi just enough of a fight so they wouldn't suspect anything. Lol I tell myself the only reason they have Special Forces, etc versions is due to Grevious's constant complaints. I could see him walking the ship during an after battle assesment like "Seriously....there were like 50 of you dudes and only TWO of them!"
