Season's Tweetings


These are some of the posts that you found popular on Rapid's social media channels this year. 

This one seemed to strike a chord back in January. An electrical engineer from Vancouver who licks live wire, puts his finger into power sockets and basically does all the things with electrical current that you MUST not do. Last time we checked (last week), he was still very much with us. If you were wondering, we cannot stress how much you should not try this at home.
 

Continuing the theme of 'Doing Great Harm to Yourself with Electronics', there was more than an element of schadenfreude at work pointing out the mistakes in these 'stock shots'. 


We were a familiar sight at Raspberry Pi Jams this year, right across East Anglia.



Pepper the robot was pretty much everywhere!



A sugar-spinning robot called Shirley was one of the stars of the Big Bang Fair. It was made by our Education Manager Chris for TV's food and science showman Stefan Gates. From there Shirley went on to meet the BBC's Director General and appear on Channel 5's The Right Stuff. 


OK, we were new to Instagram. But everyone's got to start somewhere.
