| abstract | - Project Two: Hex'em was a robot that competed in the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. It did not enjoy great success, being eliminated in the first round after suffering steering and radio interference problems. Project Two: Hex'em was the successor to Project One, Team Mad Science's entry in Dutch Series 1. However, it was actually built by a different team, as Team Mad Science temporarily split after Dutch Series 1 when it proved difficult for their Dutch and Belgian-based members to meet together to work on building robots. Mario "Maddox" de Jongh and Babeth van Son formed Team Warlocks along with Dirk "Zoltan Carno" to build Project Two, while original team captain WJ Dijkstra worked mostly alone to build his own robots such as Gravity. However, the two new teams still united to share components for each other's robots, including the electronics of Project Two, which were provided by Dijkstra. As Maddox was also part of Team KODOX, which entered Tough as Nails in Dutch Series 2, the team were joined by "Sideshow Jezus" or "Jesus Christ!" a US artist who was invited to fill the team's vacant space.
