Touro Maximus is a heavyweight built by Team RioBotz that competed in RoboGames 2009 to RoboGames 2016, as well as in ComBots Cup VI. It was a Silver, two-wheeled invertible robot armed with a powerful single toothed drum. Touro Maximus did very well, winning one of each three RoboGames medals. Team RioBotz would later compete in the 2016 season of the BattleBots ABC reboot, with a 30 pound heavier version of Touro Maximus called Minotaur where they reached the semi-finals. In 2018, they reached the finals before losing to Bite Force. Minotaur is also returning to the 2019 season.

Touro Maximus's first match was against Swamp Thing. this was a relatively dull match that consisted of both robots shoving each other around until Touro Maximus high centered itself on the arena floor.
This put it in the loser's bracket where it was supposed to face Foxic 3. However Foxic 3 did not show up to the event due to shipping issues, and was forced to forfeit. This put it through to the next round where it faced Polar Vortex.
