"When it comes to originality and innovation, this one took some beating...."

Barry Davies on Cold Thursday, BBC Technogames 2002

Welcome to the Cold Robots'  website

Arguing amongst ourselves whether to take Cold Thursday back to defend her medal in 2003, or create and enter a new robot, we did both! We entered the newly built life-sized King Penguin named Cold Mokuyobi, and a modified Cold Thursday returned - to take the silver medal again.

Cold Mokuyobi, annoyed at being displaced into 4th place in the gymnastics by 'Thursday, was pleased to be awarded the 2003 NESTA award for the most animal like robot, so all those months staring at penguin skeletons paid off!

On the Naming of Robots

• The day before the deadline for 2002 entries we still hadn't named the robot. 
• It was Thursday. 
• It was cold.
• Come 2003, we still had no better idea, so we just translated "Thursday" to Japanese (it being a penguin with a black belt in Kendo)
