Minerva is a mechanical marvel. Although she has the same wheel layout as Trusty, Minerva's drivetrain is radically different. In addition, she has a simple arm with a grabber, which allows her to

pick up and drop small objects. Best of all, Minerva can be built with the pieces from the RIS alone. The grabber arm is operated by a single motor. The other motor powers the drivetrain, which

moves the robot forward or spins it in place. Figure 5-1 shows a picture of this remarkable robot.
