Project Two: Hex'em was a robot that competed in the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. It was a green triangular wedge shaped robot which was equipped with a powerful rear-hinged flipper. Project Two's drive system was quite unique; it featured only one wheel. The wheel drove the robot forwards and back, and could be pivoted by a windscreen wiper motor to make the robot turn. Project Two was theoretically capable of throwing robots out of the arena, but did not manage to do so in its only battle.
Project Two: Hex'em was the sequel to Project One, although it was built by a different team as Team Mad Science had temporarily split into two following Dutch Series 1. This was because it proved difficult for team members based in the Netherlands and Belgium to come together to work on building robots, so the two parts of the team decided to work on separate projects. Mario "Maddox" de Jongh and Babeth van Son formed their own team to build and enter the sequel to Project One, while the original team captain WJ Dijkstra worked mostly alone to build his own new robots. However, the two parts of the team still came together to provide components for each other's new robots, including the electronics of Project Two, which were provided by Dijkstra.
Robot History
Dutch Series 2
Project Two: Hex'em had a tough first round draw, where it faced Dutch Series 1 runner-up, Lizzard. In the battle, Project Two appeared to have steering issues with its one wheel drive system, radio interference being the biggest factor, and was pushed around the arena by Lizzard. Lizzard pushed it into Shunt, who axed Project Two twice inflicting only cosmetic damage to the 16mm thick armor. Lizzard pushed the pit release tyre whle shoving Project Two. Sergeant Bash and Shunt attacked Project Two, but released it into the middle of the arena, where Lizzard attacked by spinning on the spot. Project Two: Hex'em became immobilised and was counted out, before it had a kitchen cooker dropped on it. The house robots then pushed it into the pit.
