Hello,

The Minerva robot, from _The Unofficial Guide to LEGO
MINDSTORMS Robots_, has been redesigned for RIS 1.5. Because
RIS 1.5 has fewer gears than RIS 1.0, Minerva cannot
be built with the parts from RIS 1.5 alone.

The redesigned robot, Mineva 1.5, features a simplified
drivetrain and a regeared arm; it can be built using
RIS 1.5 alone.

Full color, computer rendered building instructions are
online:

Follow the link for "Minerva 1.5".

To sneak a look at the completed robot, follow this
link to the last step:

Enjoy!

Jonathan

P.S. For you LDraw-heads, I used MLCAD, l3p, and POV-Ray
   to generate the images, then Adobe Photodeluxe to crop
   them and add the text.
