Touro Maximus vs Polar Vortex

[@ayushkaiwart2451]

Touro maximus is very reliable and tough.

[@89RASMUS]

There was a real "Ok, that's it!"-moment at 1:05, then that heavy drum started drumming the living daylight out of the lawn mower grass collector.😂

[@goronimus304]

I just can't get over the fact that touro maximus/minotaur looks suspiciously like a lunchbox.

[@jakeewert5844]

Or a xbox

[@Smokin_Snowman]

I think that's Minotaurs wife

[@Demolidor4ever]

Touro project is about 10 Years, they build minotaur with the same build as touro, its the same project

E nos touro

So is polar suppose to be like pussycat?

[@404RBTCS]

Nope. The robot is actually inspired by Professor Chaos, a combat robot armed with a vertical flywheel. The idea behind Polar Vortex is to be able to self-right without having to spend any weight on a self-righting device. Polar Vortex can drive inverted, but Fuzzy is like me: I much prefer to drive my robot without inverted controls, thank you very much.

[@datguy8805]

Antonio Paiva not only does it have a flwheel but it also is a full body lifter

[@shanetoscano2037]

No. both robots are by the same teams, but that does not mean they are the same. Plus, there is a 30 lb weight difference, and even then both Touro and Polar Vortex came far before Minotaur and Hypothermia.
