BattleBots Wiki

Double Agent was a middleweight robot built by Team Diginati for Season 3.0, Season 4.0, and Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots. For each season, the design of Double Agent was completely changed, so the robot looked different every season. For the third season, Double Agent was a parallelogram shape with six titanium spikes- three on each side- to keep from stranding. After reaching the Round of 16 as a rookie, Double Agent was revised for Season 4.0 to have two hinged wedges, so the robot would have two wedges either way up. This revision lost its first battle and so the robot was revised once more for Season 5.0, now a long, flat wedge shape with a rear hinged wedge. This final revision also lost in the first round.

The final revision of Double Agent competed for a while as Super Skunk (same design as the final version until Team Diginati retired from combat robotics). Double Agent was to be converted into a heavyweight robot named Wiretap for Season 5.0, but the team lacked the necessary resources to complete it in time.

In early 2023, a Facebook user purchased a piece of the team’s superheavyweight Codebreaker, and jokingly hinted at intentions to buy Double Agent as well, only for Rob Sica to reveal that Double Agent sparked his decades of interest in the sport and that it was too special to him to ever sell off or scrap.

Robot History[]

Season 3.0[]

Double Agent vs. Armadillo

Double Agent's first ever match in BattleBots was against Armadillo. After being rammed into the wall, Armadillo stalled one of its drive motors and eventually caught fire before it was counted out. Double Agent won the fight by KO in 56 seconds and advanced to the next preliminary round, where it faced Scheduled for Destruction.

DoubleAgentvsTurbo

Double Agent pushes shell-less turbo into the pulverizer and attacks.

At the start of the match, both bots charged and met in the middle of the arena. Double Agent's armor got ripped by Turbo's knockers, some chunks of the armor went flying but the bots stayed relatively close. This was a disadvantage to Turbo because the shell was not spinning fast. Turbo managed to get in a few more hits on Double Agent, but during some maneuvering near the killsaws, Turbo drove over one and the shell was ripped off of Turbo and launched 5 ft into the air. The internals of Turbo flew only about 2 ft. Luckily, the impact didn't rattle the internal components of Turbo, so the shell-less robot was still able to drive. The crowd was in awe when they saw the shell-less Turbo continue to show aggression and bumps Double Agent. Double Agent got on top of the killsaws and was sent flying horizontally at that point. Double Agent came back and managed to push Turbo under the pulverizer. The pulverizer destroyed several exposed components with a barrage of hits. Turbo was being counted out and Double Agent won the fight by an obvious KO at 2:11. This win put Double Agent to the Round of 16, where it faced SABotage.

Double Agent gets flipped by SABotage.

At the beginning, SABotage gets underneath Double Agent's side and flips it onto its back. Double Agent stumbles around the arena and SABotage missed getting its arm underneath for most of the match. SABotage got underneath the front of Double Agent and almost flipped it but was only tipped. With about one minute and ten seconds left, SABotage finally flips Double Agent back to its original position. Double Agent quickly drives over the killsaws, sending pieces of armor flying and sending Double Agent flying into SABotage. SABotage gets underneath Double Agent's side and flips it again before the time ran out. SABotage won the fight on a 34-11 judges' decision and Double Agent was eliminated from the tournament.

Middleweight Royal Rumble

Double Agent also participated the Middleweight Royal Rumble at the end of the tournament. It partly hits Deadblow and avoided Complete Control who attempted to grab it, then goes back at Deadblow with Bad Attitude. It then bumped into SABotage. Then it goes for Zion, then SABotage pushes Double Agent against the base of the screws. After this it drives into Blade Runner who forces it into Deadblow. Then it tackles Hazard until Zion interferes, in which Double Agent chases off. At one point Alabama Slammer backed itself into the wedge of Double Agent who pushed it against the spikestrip. Little Drummer Boy then started pushing Double Agent toward the corner of the BattleBox. It also got thwacked by Blade Runner. Then it went for Hazard again but then switched to Zion. It then went at Complete Control, and finally SABotage. It was one of few robots that were still moving in the end, but lost overall to T-Minus.

Season 4.0[]

Double Agent vs. Huggy Bear

Huggy Bear went straight at Double Agent, but Double Agent escapes and gets caught on the killsaws. Huggy Bear gets around Double Agent and Double Agent tries to get away. Huggy Bear pushes Double Agent to another set of killsaws and sparks were flying everywhere.

T-Minus got its flipping arm on the side of Double Agent and tried to flip it again, but Double Agent escaped and T-Minus missed. Double Agent started spinning again and T-Minus missed another flip on Double Agent. Double Agent ran away from T-Minus and drove itself onto the killsaws. The killsaws were lifting the front of Double Agent and it was flipped again by T-Minus. Double Agent was back onto its feet and it got flipped by T-Minus again. Double Agent went straight at T-Minus again and got itself flipped by T-Minus once again. Double Agent was on its back again and landed on the killsaws. T-Minus pushed it off the killsaws and T-Minus was tossed from the killsaws. T-Minus got a small lift on the side of Double Agent and Double Agent went straight at T-Minus, but it got flipped again. Double Agent started spinning once again and T-Minus pushed Double Agent toward the spikestrip. T-Minus missed another flip on Double Agent and T-Minus drove over Double Agent. Double Agent got underneath the front of T-Minus and tried to push it toward the spikestrip, but T-Minus slipped away and Double Agent went straight at the spikestrip. After this, Double Agent drove itself under the pulverizer and reversed itself toward the screws. Double Agent moved to the center of the BattleBox and T-Minus drove over Double Agent again. T-Minus flipped the front of Double Agent two more times and the time ran out shortly after. T-Minus won the fight on a 31-14 judges' decision and Double Agent was eliminated from the tournament once again.
