Double Trouble

"Oh yes, they're twice as nice, And you'll be gone in a trice!"

- Jonathan Pearce

Double Trouble was an invertible box robot that entered in the Sixth Series of Robot Wars. It featured two heavy red spinning discs as its weapons, similar to Shredder, and from where it got its name. Each disc could spin at up to 6000 RPM. However, these discs were prone to flying off, doing so both in the robot's qualifier and the second round battle against 13 Black.

Series 6
Double Trouble proved its brute strength withing seconds, managing to shove the combined weight of Kan Opener and Demolition Man around. Sparks flew as the flywheels impacted on Kan Opener. After Kan Opener was seemingly immobilised, both Fluffy and Double Trouble landed severe blows on it. Dead Metal caught Double Trouble and dragged it from the fray, only to have it escape and shove the counted out Kan Opener into the side wall. Meanwhile, Demolition Man had been immobilised, putting Double Trouble through. A game of "Russian Roulette" this, as Double Trouble met the other double flywheeled robot, 13 Black. After weathering blows from the larger robot's discs, one of Double Trouble's discs was torn off the robot, halving the already inferior potency of the robots weapons. Additional blows from 13 Black caused Double Trouble's armour to peel away. Although Double Trouble did manage to hold on and both of 13 Black's flywheels were out of action at the end, it was eliminated on the judges decision.
