It&amp;#x27;s ruined what could have been a nice thread about her awesome work with discussions about what we should refer to her as like we are classifying an object.&lt;p&gt;Her own YouTube page says this:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Maker&amp;#x2F;robotics enthusiast&amp;#x2F;non-engineer. Have become somewhat of an expert in shitty robots. Swedish but sound American just to confuse you.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Please post flamebait somewhere else.</text></comment>

It appears that she makes a living by being primarily an entertainer, not an engineer. In this context, I think the titles &amp;quot;robotics hobbyist&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;robot enthusiast&amp;quot; are appropriate and accurate.</text></comment>
