2-XL was made by Dr. Michael J. Freeman, Ph.D, an inventor with an interest in educational robots.
Its basic function was to teach, hence his name, "To Excel." However he did it in a way that was entertaining for both children and adults. 2-XL could ask questions, tell jokes, play games and puzzles, and even had an interactive game called "Tri-Lex," which was a cross between checkers and tic-tac-toe. He was not only educational and entertaining, but he was friendly too, and played some pretty cool music (although his singing, by his own confession, was pretty bad).
