Minibots are tiny consumer constructs designed to perform specialized tasks. Their relative ease of use makes their adoption widespread across the galaxy, as they're arguably easier to use than a simple comm unit. Their cross-platform compatibility and affordability makes them popular with technology enthusiasts, who frequently upgrade and mod them to suit their personal needs. Minibots use a combination of voice registration and RFID tags, often integrated into accessories worn by their owner. They don't activate if the owner has another minibot to prevent them from crashing into one another while attempting to obey the same command at the same time. Each minibot has statistics, with additional abilities determined by the chosen type. Most minibots expend 1 battery charge every 10 minutes while activated.
