Not to be confused with Dutch Wars competitor, X-Bot

Design[]
X box used an innovative design with its weaponry. Although it was armed with two hydraulic pincers, one was vertically mounted at the front, and one was horizontally mounted at the back, forming somewhat of an X shape. The robot was cubic in shape, and was powered by a two-wheel drive on either side.
