Happy Robot Day!

Happy Robot Day (HRD), Takes place on July 10, each year. A day when everyone celebrates Robots and all they have done. The first reference to Robot Day has so been traced back to NewGrounds.com. Happy Robot Day 2010 The idea was developed into an infromal art contest, focusing on Robots, where users could submit their art, games or movies, for credits to use at newgounds.com. When I spoke with "MindChamber" the lead behind Robot Day on Newgounds.com, he had this to say:

''"RD is a informal contest where we ask users to submit a movie, game, music or art thats robot related." "Top 3 winners in each category get NG store credit. the orginal date was June 19th but was later changed July 10th in 2010 to better reflect a certain inventor [Nikola Tesla] that contributed to robotics."''

July 10th - Also known as Nikola Tesla day.
