Team RioBotz's Daniel Freitas announced that Minotaur would not compete in Discovery Season 5 due to travel restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Minotaur has previously won awards for destructiveness and a silver medal in the 2018 season of BatleBots. It is famed for its terrifying weapon power and incredible driving ability, bolstered by team driver Daniel Freitas. Minotaur is considered one of the great BattleBots of it's time, in every single one of its appearances never failing to land a spot in at least the Top 8. Since Touro Maximus was also made by Riobotz, it and Minotaur shared a lot components and design elements, with most of the upgrades being used for the armor, the drum and the skids. Minotaur was based around Touro Maximus, a robot that previously won the STEM Tech Olympiad in 2014 and RoboGames in 2015, as well as finishing 3rd in the next Robogames. It is armed with a deadly 12,000 RPM spinning drum that was reduced to just under 10,000 RPM for competing. Minotaur is a robot that was built by the Brazilian Team RioBotz which competed in Season 2 of ABC's BattleBots reboot and two seasons on Discovery and Science.
