Minotaur is the heaviest robot of team RioBotz and the first Brazilian BattleBot. It represents all the experience gathered along since 2003, to fulfill our original dream of competing at BattleBots.
Minotaur
Type: Drumbot - Heavyweight
Weight: 220 lbs (100 kg)
Year of creation: 2009
A compact, resistant and devastating machine. His structure is made of aluminum, with a 4-inch thick armor, and a 70-lb drum that spins at very high speeds.
Touro Maximus
Touro
Touro Classic
Type: Drumbot - Middleweight
Weight: 120 lb (54 kg)
Year of creation: 2010
Able to throw opponents over a meter high
with its drum rotating at high speeds , and self-right using its the gyroscopic effect.
Type: Wedge - Fairyweight
Weight: 5.3 oz (150 g)
Created in: 2009
Its structure is made of carbon fiber that, when compared to steel, has a much larger strength/weight ratio. In a design of this minuscule size, a lot of attention is required, because details are much more critical and have larger consequences.
Type: Drumbot - Middleweight
Weight: 120 lbs (54 kg)
Year of creation: 2006
The third generation of our middleweight. Able to throw opponents over a meter high with its drum rotating at high speeds.
Touro Classic
Touro Light
Type: Drumbot - Lightweight
Weight: 60 lbs (27 kg)
Year of creation: 2007
It is so compact that it has been confused with lighter class robots, but it has sidewalls as thick as Touro, and a drum with a surprising amount of kinetic energy.
Touro Feather
Type: Drumbot - Featherweight
Weight: 30 lb (13.6 kg)
Year of creation: 2008
In weight proportion, it’s the fastest, strongest and most resistant robot from RioBotz. Still, its high-end components work below their nominal conditions, which increases their durability and makes the robot very reliable.
Touro Jr
Type: Drumbot - Hobbyweight
Weight: 12 lbs (5.4 kg)
Year of creation: 2007
Touro Jr is our third hobby weight, an evolution of our former Brazilian champion Tourinho.

Its structure is made of UHMW to be resistant and leave weight for the rest of the components. Its drum is powerful enough to launch the opponents onto the ceiling of the small arena.
