He say ohio
Low iq builders be like lets put a hammer on it
Ee und ich bin sehr gespannt auf die anderen beiden sind ja auch noch ein paar Bilder von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe
Minotaur was just a simple, super solid bot and a genius driver.
Minotaur is mostly being on the Offensive side. I have never seen Minotaur playing as the defensive role on battle, Minotaur is like your typical Attacker. But i believe Beta can defeat minotaur. It has superior durability and its hammer smashes down when it luckily hits, when its hammer is broken it can be used as a wedge instead. And beta has a decent speed which he can chase minotaur around the arena without worrying his bot being damaged due to superior durability
and five times more expensive, due to brazilian coin values.
@@boogeyman3116 Beta was most likely the first ever bot to endure Tombstone so I think that could happen in my opinion.
@@papersparrow899 Luck is also a key for victory, possible Minotaur's weapon is not reached in high speed due to engineering errors, and Beta could possibly use it as a handicap
@@boogeyman3116 Ah.
I love minotaur because of how AGGRESSIVE its driven, There is almost never a moment when Minotaur isnt trying to run in and strike
In portuguese: BR sendo BR hehehehehhe 🤘🏽😂
Os br estão detonando
So... like its namesake, then?
I think its more the driving. The driver is very good at not only keeping his bot lined up but doesn't overcorrect and is very good at understanding the gyroscopic force of their weapon aswell.
Just life him up with a grappler and saw it from the inside, what sawblaze did.
The sheer AGGRESSION when the other bot is still moving and then the pure gentleman that comes out when it is clearly over is what I love.
Sportsmanship at its best
It's not actually about gentleman/ spotsmanship behaviour. If the other bot isn't moving and minotaur hits it, there's a chance it can move back again. As long as the match is ON, there is a risk of minotaur losing. Or getting more damage. That's not good for them over the competition. Only do as much as necessary. No need to take unnecessary risks.
Precisely enough damage to end the battle
He literally set the other bot on fire in the first match with 10 seconds left in a match he'd clearly won, what are you talking about lol
Same thing with Bronco
I cannot express how much I love the fact this is a real thing. It's just one of those ideas that you see in a show or movie and think "Man, I wish we had that" Because it seems so outlandish but fun, so actually seeing these battles happen is absolutely amazing.
Ikr!
I love Minotaur's victory dance!
Hahahahaha yeeesss so funny and cute
Reminds me lf rocket league
The engine noise itself is soo good
@@esterduarte6797 funny and CUTTING. :)
@@mtrivelin LOL
Aliens: We wonder what humans are doing on that planet. Humans:
Aliens' batttlebots would be much crazier
We are also fighting terror and using religion to commit attrocities
ول وش تسوي هنا
Aliens: wow they just like us!
@@tabularasa9576 and then the time passed 1000 years and you didn't notice. wake up!
Minotaur's driver is so aggressive you can literally see it in his face
The 😬 is real.
All of the robots defeated by the Minotaur had simple attack methods and obvious weaknesses. The Minotaur, on the other hand, was well-designed, and the pilot's fierce and precise charge was an extra-dimensional strength without exposing any weak points to attack.
Shatter was just wackin in with a freaking pointy rod even in pristine condition
What I wouldn't give to be able to see Minotaur v Blacksmith for the first time again, that fight is iconic
Excellent match!!
@Ran Ng pp
It’s………………..so………………beautiful 😭😭😭
@Ran Ng bv
@Ran Ng MORE durable? He got completely taken to pieces in this one and kept coming!
I love this combat. It's definitely one of the best in the BattleoBots series. I'm a huge fan of this Minotaur robot.
Они из пластика или из фольги. Зачем??? Можно ведь сделать из настоящего металла и не испортится.
me toooo
@@chertopoloh170 It's about weight. They can't use fortified metal because they'd go over the limit. Also the force involved is insane, the metal they are made of is good.
@@chertopoloh170 ты че? Не видеш искры что-ли. Какой пластик или фалга?
Hello 🤗
A very ingenious design. Minotaur uses the angular momentum of the cylinder to reorient itself, and of course to reorient the enemy. Top notch in flipping things off
Ele foi criado por estudantes de uma Faculdade de engenharia do Rio de Janeiro
What is his weapon? I can see that some thing is spinning, but it's not just a cylinder. What is it? Is it some drill for an industrial cutter or something?
@@KulaGGin just a cylinder, with a few notches and welded bits, two look like hooks, one is just a bar
@@velhodeitado221 PUC-Rio. A turma da Riobotz é duca!
i really love minotaur's srimech, the way it uses the gyroscopic forces of its drum to do this physics-defying dance
Amazing how he used physics to create physics defying dance. Physicists everywhere are giving up for psychology
@@Z-add 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
and i hated him
Minotaur at the start be like: I will destroy my enemy and everything in my path, including the arena.
急にこの動画が出てきて何気なく開いたらめっちゃおもろくて、5歳と2歳の子供たちと一緒に大興奮で見てしまいました。 完全にキマってる操縦者もスゴ
同じです。延々と見ている...
日本人いた!
古いアニメだけど クラッシュギアのリアル版みたい。 見ていて興奮するw
Enemies: create beautiful robots with loads of intimidating things Minotaur: i see, you denied your weapon its purpose
This randomly popped up and I can't help watching it. These are our gladiators. What is Minotaur's secret? Extra powerful motor? Why is it possible to rip and flip others so easily? I can see the operator has great skill.
From what I can see is minimal design, maneuverability, speed, weight, weapon and redundancy. It can do quick attacks, grind away heavier opponent's armor away when they are pinned and do quick head on collision attacks that can send them flying.
There is not real counter against his spinner. There is one but it would be against the rules. It's such a boring bot with very little counters. They do try to "nerf" them but unless a counter weapon can be officially added ( a net ) those types of bots will keep dominating.
@@Farang_Surat Having spinners as main weapons is a double edge sword. Sure, it can deliver powerful attacks when it's in full spinning speed but the recoil of the sudden stop of the spinners destroys the bot as well.
@@amon8977 Seems that vertical spinners have less issues. Most the recoil from Minotaur is redirected into the ground via the metal below the spinner.
@@amon8977 yeah the only times i remember seeing the good spinner bots losing is when they self destruct against the arena walls or obstacles. I noticed Minotaur has the lip at the bottom to stop it ramming into the walls and damaging itself. Although it seems some of the obstacles are actually more flimsy then they look like the hollow hammer.
I like how offensive minotaur is .it seperates him from all other bots
Soo based
I'm happy that Minotaur is returning to BattleBots It's been 3 years
Really? Awesome When begin the new season?
really??
@@Vinicius_gomes it already began
@@maxplaying yes
Other robots:why do I hear boss music
O piloto do Minotauro é o mais preciso que ja vi no battlebots. Ataques cirúrgicos, sabe a hora de recuar e a hora ir pra cima! E o barulho que ele faz, parece uma boiada inteira vindo na direção do oponente kk
Riobots, eles são BRs??
@@FelipedosSantos1 sim eu ja visitei eles la na PUC rj
Tanto o piloto do Minotaur quanto do Biteforce são os melhores.
Really? Last season Minotaur was wrecked by a more competent driver.
Pra mim o Minotauro foi o melhor robô de batalha que teve no battlebots, só podia ser brazuca... show de pilotagem.

You forgot the Minotaur vs. Pulverizer 10:38
Minotaur's engineering is pure beauty. Perfect balance + weapon systems
Whenever Minotaur fights an opponent with a "flipper" weapon it's always a one-sided fight, since Minotaur's self-righting ability and upside-down mobility makes it immune to getting flipped over. The only chance that Minotaur loses in a fight like that is when it gets thrown out of the arena and gets stuck on the screws.
It still has to attend weight constraints, so usually it's less armored in its bottom, compared to the top plate. The team even said that when competing against hammers, they use a thick titanium plate in the top, however, the bot is somewhat unprotected in the bottom, that's why the ability to flip minotaur using its drum's momentum is crucial, and it's driver, Daniel Freitas, has shown how he's capable of driving this bot with only one wheel, using its momentum. That's insane.
Only an idiot would design a turtle bot anyway.
@@RodrigoM3llo _"It still has to attend weight constraints, so usually it's less armored in its bottom, compared to the top plate"_ What? The rules say bots can be 250 pounds. That thing doesn't look like it weights 250 pounds. Maybe 100 pounds?
@@RodrigoM3llo _" that's why the ability to flip minotaur using its drum's momentum is crucial"_ What kind of a drum is it? I can't see what is it spinning there.
@@KulaGGin minotaur's spinning drum weights over 70 pounds, spinning over 11k RPM (250mph). The vehicle (or bot, if you wish) as a whole is waaaaaay over 100 pounds.
I'm a big fan of Minotaur, the father of the rotating drum, pulverizer of the Pulverizer.
Minotauro não luta, ele esmaga 😎💪
💪🏻💪🏻
Massacra de mais
I love Minotaur. My favourite Bot ever. The roar it makes when the true battle begins is chilling ... like an ancient beast right before sinking its teeth into its victim. Which is usually what happens afterwards :D
Minotaur to siła dyskretnej aparycji i naturalnej inteligencji, która w walce nie tylko skutecznie niszczy przeciwnika, ale i ośmiesza, a co najfajniejsze rozbawia widownie. Operator Minotaura też świetnie sprzężony z robotem. Bbrawa dla konstruktora. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Quebra tudo Touro 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Que foda! Não sabia que era brasileiro! Orgulho! Adorei o robô, inicialmente é o mais sem graça de todos, mas depois você vai vendo que ele tem menos firulas e foca no que importa, como força, velocidade, robustez ... amei!
exatamente, de engenharia um pouco mais simples porém muito mais ágil na hora que precisa.
Vejam outra fera brasileira, o Black Dragon. Outro demolidor!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Acho que a principal arma dele é parecer inofensivo
E a pilotagem é uma das melhores.
Da puc-rj
Minotaur is an unflappable durable bot, with powerful weapon, great speed/maneuverability. And his pilot is highly skilled. What a deadly combo
Minotaur the forbidden roomba
Orgulho brasileiro 🙂👌
Sim 🤘🤘
representa demais
Felicitaciones!!!!
🇧🇷🎉🤘🏻
Top demais 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You have to give Blacksmith respect... Going head-on relentlessly with a hammer until the end. The differences in weapon damage is like watching a deer chase a wolf.
More like a deer and a wolf hunting themselves
Minotaur is just brutal, the inventor really deserve to be rewarded for this invention.
I love how laser-focused that driver is. You could set FIRE to his pants and he wouldn't flinch until the fight is 100% over. In some battles he stays on guard up to 10 seconds after the count XD
Battlebots: Check out these cool fights UK fans: I love this! Can I spend money to see more? Battlebots: No
Lol
Nobody : Minotaur : *Loud MMMMMM noises*
With that fighting style, Minotaur does live up to it's name.
that is the angriest roomba ive ever seen... i like it.
True to its name, pure aggression.
La verdad minotaur es pequeño pero compacto , resistente , rápido y sobretodo... Ese cilindro es DEBASTADOR , siempre a sido uno de mis Robots de Battlebots favoritos
Wow, these are all impressive and entertaining, but that match between Minotaur and Bronco was just brutal! Minotaur was tearing Bronco limb from limb!
this is proof men can be kids at a high level
Minotauro é do Brasil maluco só orgulho da RioBotz vcs são feras demais por nós representar lá fora 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Minotaur faced them like just fought walked tin cans...so agile so fearless
The fight vs Blacksmith is obviously a classic, but underrated is Chris and Kenny's commentary.
Caraca, esse Minotauro ATROPELA pra valer, deu até dó dos robozinhos que ficaram no caminho. Parabéns aos Br que desenvolveram esse MONSTRO.
Hopefully for this season we’ll see Minotaur vs Huge.
my two favourite bots. I would say that it would be a very onesided match but i am not sure onesided for whom... If minotaur can chew the wheels of huge, its game over since he can also push him around. On the other side If he cant chew the wheels then Huge has the full power even if being pushed, cause that blade from above is unique in its positioning and way of hitting. Very interesting match, but i dont want either of them getting an L...
@@pasmas3217 due to its max rpm on minos drum (thus higher chance of its teeth hitting first than getting hit) i could actually see minotaur winning this by hitting weapon on weapon and sending that kinetic shock upwards right into the middle section of Huge where it has been proven to be most fragile. but it could go either way as usual with spinning weapons hitting each other.
You can see in the Blacksmith fight he was showing them mercy. He knew he had won and did not want to ruin the other teams bot but they kept coming so he had to put them down.
Unlike pilots of SawBlaze, who seem to me exact opposite - I have won, but let's do as much damage before the countdown ends...
At least we can say that black Smith did Not Go down without a Fight.
The guy who was driving Minotaur was really good. Also the desing was great, solid with a powerful weapon
Minotaur's HEBAT 👍👍👍👍👍
Minotaur vs blacksmith was EPIC, these 3 minutes can make ANYONE a fan of battlebots
Whoever designed Minotaur is genius. 👍👍👍
MINOTAUR is one of my best battle bot he fights from every angle
I love the way how Minotaur refuses to get flipped at 04:56 It just goes NO
soy fan de minotauro. para mi es el mejor. muchos copiaron su esenci y estructura pero el que conduce minotauro esta super loco y eso no se puede copiar
Boxy design, 1 spinning drum and non-exposed wheels: simple yet dangerously effective
Simple and mid-mounted, Rolling on both sides; which means he has a very good game against flippers.
Minotaur vs Blacksmithis is one of my favorite fights ever. Not only because Minotaur is aggressive, brutal and extremely skilled champ, but also because Blacksmith didn't quit until it was able to move and kept swinging and fighting with all its might even after getting torn apart piece by piece. Defeat by knock out, that's the way to go in these fights! Never back down! Never surrender! Until the bitter end! And the other fights are great too! Especially Shatter and Bronco
I liked how Minotaur's pilot was respectful towards robots that clearly lost before the KO was called and just sat there waiting for the victory to be officially declared rather than keep destroying others' creation. He is a man of honor.
Parabéns aos desenvolvedores do Minotauro, esse robô e fantástico!!!
Infelizmente seu reinado caiu, ele foi destruído em uma batalha...
@@musicsforgames ele já ganhou algum campeonato?
@@musicsforgames procurei o vídeo porém não encontrei
@@eduardomiranda7577 vários, até os gringos se amarram nele
@@thuss9159 pois ele perdeu, em poucos minutos ele perdeu a capacidade de combate e foi destruído
Bronco: "Sure, I'll enter the labirynth with my wheels exposed, what could go wrong?" Minotaur: *Happy HIGH MOBILITY/ HIGH RPM DRUM noises*
😆 i feel the same when playing crossout and i see people with 4 wheels exposed.
Wheel guards can also be a major risk, as they get damaged they themselves may jam the wheel up. Besides, as bots prove more and more, you don't need wheel guards, you just need to make tougher wheels.
@@EgorKaskader Yes, you can't have sh*tty armor and expect to be safe in every battle. Wheels are not welded like armor, most will just pop right off from a drum/blade spinner hit. And if your design does not consider the risk of armor jaming the wheels, good luck next year.
i love that insane little bot
I was a huge fan of tombstone but this minotaur is scary af !
My favorite battlebot is Minotaur. Even though it’s tiny compared to other bots, it can deal some SERIOUS damage!
And other bots can't even hit him cause how small he is🤣🤣🤣
He's also quick af
Well, you know what they say. You mess with the Bull, you get the horns.
Don't forget immune to fling
Respect for that Minotuar
That combo starting at 8:29
This robot is simply amazing! It is a pride for us Brazilians to see this robot fight! And for me, Daniel Freitas is the best Battlebots pilot today! Congratulations and... "Vai Brasil!!!"
My blood has boiled up to another level after watching this... well played
1. How, how did I just realize this was awesome? I’ve been into robots my whole life and I just now start to look into battle bots? 2. We’ve become the future that all the old movies predicted we’d be
I don't always love spinners (horizontal, vertical, or drum), but that methodical chopping of wheels of Bronco was something to behold!
Destroying a meticulously crafted machine and shattering the hearts of the opposing team is truly exceptional.
Minotaur is the one of impressive bots in Battle-Bots. I'll pray for their victory this time in S.Korea
Minotaur is one of my favorite Battlebots. What I would like to see is what happens if Minotaur clashes into Blendo from Mythbuster's Jamie Hyneman.
I love that face expression of the pilot of Minotaur. LOL
And that's what makes him a unique pilot among all of the pilots. He emits the feeling of "THIS IS SPARTA!!" from 300
If you play the Blacksmith fight in reverse, it's a lesson on how to assemble a robot
This little Matchbox is very dangerous
Espero que a Streetbots traga um espetáculo desses pro Brasil
I love Minotaur's efficiency, effectiveness & simplicity...the little roomba ❤❤
Im pround that my country have this Intelligent guys doing this nice work!
Minotauro LENDÁRIO! Esse está nos anais da battlebots! MÍTICO DEMAIS!!!
Anais? 😳
I love Minotaur! My best bots! From japan
This is one of the first times I am watching battlebots and the driving on minotaur is so good.
I just love Minotaur and it's pilot style!
Quem olha assim parecem pequenos, pesam cerca de 100kg. É uma lixadeira com rodas. Impressionante.
Minotauro tá sempre nos dando orgulho,esse robô destroi
And yet, some people think that old bots from Robot Wars UK would out-play Battlebots. Dudes, Ian freaking Lewis built Warhead - Razer's got nothing on Minotaur, and Chaos2 would've been banned anyway (no CO2 flippers allowed)
The control, reliability and precision are just exceptional.
Minitar and its driver are the real highpoint in every fight they're in! Incredible!
Minotaur will activate beast mode on upcoming fight in Season 6
I feel bad for sawblaze
Well this age well didn't it
@@ReDelta101 sawblaze won so im happy but minotaur lost so im sad
That was amazing never been in to this but really enjoyed it, It was a wrekin ball, well done to the controller.
Minotaur: Come on baby. Blacksmith: I'm on periods... plz stop!
Minotaur is the perfect killing machine
Cara naquele tempo Quando minotaur's chegou Nessa arena Ngm esperava que ele fosse o robô mais agressivo entre todos outros na competição. Causava um estrago bastante pra lembrar aos outros que: Quando a pessoa se mexe na frente de um touro furioso, ele não para de atacar e avançar pra cima até que seu oponente seja perfurado pelos chifres Prepara o teu caixão, porque nem Teseu escapa desse monstro.
Minotaur is a simple and best made engine car... congratulations!!!
The Blacksmith fight reminds me of the pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”. The Minotaur just runs circles about the slow and clumsy Blacksmith, and seems unaffected by its toy hammer.
Whenever I watch minotaur, it's like watching Manny Pacquiao fighting in the ring. My favorite bot hopes he's going back.
Nosso Minotaur é demais!
Blacksmith was truly a tough one, hitting in time, swinging whole body to trick mino nahhh that was great!!!
