Dr Lucy RogersRandom question time - what do *you* know me for / because of pls?
NAB 🇬🇧🇪🇺🔶
Ben Hardill@drlucyrogers Dinosaur hacking (by proxy)
Brian Burton@drlucyrogers Robot Wars first, then I learnt a lot more about what you are capable of when I followed you on the old social media place.
The Oracle WokStation@drlucyrogers originally, robot wars, secondarily, making and #makersHour. Which is tonight, join us!
Robee? Na! 🌈@drlucyrogers That brilliantly hilarious podcast series with Bec Hill and Harriet Braine, the rocket science book, and nearly getting to hack dinosaurs with you. 😂 I am also culturally aware of you having been in robot wars and being attacked by a royal with a sword.
@RobeeShepherd ha. The sword attack didn't happen. Although I did get a pinned on badge.
@drlucyrogers Just like on Blue Peter!
@RobeeShepherd yes. But I don't get free entry to places.
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things@drlucyrogers
Ahhh so many things....
Robot Wars
Space
Engineering
Books
Guild of Makers
#MakersHour
Tools
Skoda
Watercraft
Gravity racing
Travel
YouTube
Slack line
Being thoughtful and considerate
Being generous ot time and spirit
Describing what happens to a person when exposed to space vacuum
And many other things.
@Maker_of_Things it's a good job you're a friend - that would sound stalker -ish otherwise :)
@drlucyrogers
You have done a lot of noteworthy stuff.

Simon Walters@drlucyrogers being a maker of stuff
garrettc@drlucyrogers “It’s ONLY Rocket Science”. Love that book.
Chris Godwin@drlucyrogers Originally probably Robot Wars is the first time I specifically know you from? But given my background probably did come across your work previously and just didn't realise. Since then I mainly know about various STEM and adjacent things I found out about from your twitter and friends/colleagues in STEM
concretedog@drlucyrogers that crime spree we went on that time...
@concretedog that was such fun! We need to book a rematch.
Skylar MacDonald@drlucyrogers Terry and Liz! 😄
Terence Eden@skylar @drlucyrogers wait, I only know her through you!
Amo Bishop Rodent@drlucyrogers Dinosaurs at EMF 2016
Martin Howitt@drlucyrogers I met you at an IoT conference in London hosted by Redmonk. 2015? Something like that. You had the cheerlights.
Michael Horne@drlucyrogers Pi Wars. Robot Wars. :-)
Extreme Electronics@drlucyrogers Robot wars, Writing and bubbles.
RC2014@drlucyrogers I didn't know you until you turned up at our village at SHA Camp (2017?) with a cardboard tent.
I later discovered that I had heard an interview with you on a Linux podcast talking about hacking dinosaur robots on the Isle of Wight.
Tom@drlucyrogers Originally from the IMechE members list on Twitter, I think!
Instant Arcade@drlucyrogers I only know you from Masto. You looked like someone interesting to follow and boy, was I right!
I never knew you were so accomplished.
@InstantArcade :) thank you! Current progress a bit duller but hopefully it will all get very interesting again soon !
Mike Sheldon@drlucyrogers History Makers/The DesignSpark podcast (which I got paid to write a joke for, many years ago)
@mike oh that's fantastic! Thank you for the joke :)
sunflowerinrain@drlucyrogers WES (Women's Engineering Society). :)
@sunflowerinrain didn't we tour Norfolk together once, trying to find our way back to the conference?
@drlucyrogers That'd be 1999!
Workshopshed@drlucyrogers dinosaurs, robots and watersports
Ed Chivers@drlucyrogers the person who followed me on mastodon after some friends of mine got back from EMF camp...
Niki@drlucyrogers As a fellow space tweep on the birdsite I think. Aside from all your claims to fame other people have already mentioned, I think of you as someone who has never worn a pair of boring boots 👢 👢
Lisa@drlucyrogers You mean there's more than just your innate awesomeness?
@TicklishHoneyBee well obvs that underlies everything ;)
Tim Panton@drlucyrogers Robot wars initially. But then you were kind enough to help me with corralling some VoIP engineers who were building little remote camera robots to do a treasure hunt.
We also did a lovely podcast interview on makers..

Dr Footleg (he/him)@drlucyrogers Pi Wars judging initially, then #MakersHour on Twitter when it first started. Since then, the Design Spark podcasts and following your social media posts.
mattdawhit@drlucyrogers
Because of twitter. I mean, the one from the before times

@mattdawhit and a tweetup?
@drlucyrogers
Almost definitely, but if so I would have been starstruck

@mattdawhit pretty sure I wasn't awe inspiring pre 2011 :)
@drlucyrogers
No, you definitely were, you just went on a rapid trajectory further up

goffik@drlucyrogers OK. Serious answer: I was interested in your stargazing nights on the island, but could never get over in order to join you. Then came the dino hacking, which I also couldn't make. 😆 Then I stayed because you are a thoroughly decent, funny and extraordinarily interesting person!
lornajane@drlucyrogers came for the robots, stayed for the informed humour
