How did you come up with 25? I got 31 (assuming you're right that there are 5 major tasks):
There is only one combination of all five capabilities.
There are 5 ways to do all but one of the tasks.
There are 10 combinations of 3 capabilities, 10 combinations of 2 capabilities, and 5 ways to do only one task. (Actually, there is one more possibility: a robot that is somehow incapable of doing any of the tasks.
)
