Despite the team's vast experience and success with the Touro series of robots, Minotaur was a completely new build made in 2016 specifically for BattleBots. The team could also fit wedges or smaller wedglets underneath or either side of the drum to help feed opponents into their primary weapon.ĭaniel Freitas has been everpresent in the team since its debut season, and has driven drum spinner robots of various weight classes since 2007, earning him the respect of fans and fellow competitors as one of the best drivers in BattleBots. Its chassis was made from CNC-machined from an 8" block of 6061-T6 aluminum, with a mix of steel and titanium making up the armor.
However, this had to be reduced to 10000mph to suit BattleBots rules on tip speed. It featured a highly destructive drum spinner weighing 60-70lbs depending on the robot's configuration, and could reach speeds of up to 12000rpm. Minotaur was based around the team's highly successful Touro Maximus, a robot which previously won the STEM Tech Olympiad in 2014 and placing 1st and 3rd in RoboGames 20 respectively.
Minotaur is a robot built by Team RioBotz from Brazil, who competed in four seasons of the BattleBots reboot, including Discovery Season 6. Not to be confused with the robot which competed in Las Vegas 1999. Statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show, or if not applicable, qualification attempt.
