You broke the 1/2" drill bit!?!?:yikes: Awww, I can't blame ya - it was a Harbor Freight special.;) Anywhoo, we are very proud to have you represent the girls of FIRST, and YES WE LOVE YOU. And I'll have it be known you are darn smart. No decorating and marketing here folks; this chick is writing code, doing calculus, designing mechanisms, and cutting metal. She gives us guys a run for our money.:p

Well,t hat was definatley LONG reading material, but first thing in order, i think Cory is the bomb, it take guts for a guy to stand up to a girl, especially when a lot don't seem to think liek that, no offence. But yes..


As for my team, I am the only girl of 3 memebers. And well, i do everything on our team. I did Driving, Lift, HP, cleaning, awards, mechanic, pneumatics with Oakridge, Engineer, programmer, along with other stuff, but then again, my team isn't to surprised i know how to do everything, being in FFA, i kinda had a lot of expreiences, with fixing tractors and stuff. But girls appear to be a rarety at Central Fl, cause every team was surprised to see me working on our bot in the pit, with grease and WD40 all over me, not really caring what i looked liek ::shrug::

Girls on our team... we have three

One doesn't do anything. Other one does lots of cheerleading and making people laugh and stuff...

But the other one has driven our robot the last two years and works on our web site, and also has helped wire the robot and contribute in other areas as well. This year I tried to teach her some programming so she can do that next year.. but not quite sure how much of it she has gotten yet. She is really one of the most productive members of our team besides myself and two other guys..

Oh, and as an added bonus.. shes really hot, and we went to a valentines day dance together.. :D

Haha, definatley, it surprised most of the judges when they would want to talk to me, and I was all greasy and not want to shake their hands, but they laughed and shook it anyways, I dunno. A lot of epopel talked to me, cause I was doing Mechanical work,t hen again, I did that long before first, I do it with the tractors in FFA, so I am use to it ^^;; So yea, HOPEFULLY next year, some of my other gal friends might join, which would be nice...to have someone of equal level of the team, by girl I mean, they prob won't do grease, but some work...I hope...

Our team is all girls! We do everything... we're in the machine shop & the High Bay @ Robinson Lab @ OSU for about 23 hours a week, and spend more time @ school during study halls and such working on it. It's a lot of work, but it's tons of fun! I've never been on a co-ed team, so actually I can't really imagine boys being in the machine shop... Kinda weird, but to each her own...:D

ComBBAT_Amy 27-03-2003 18:37

This is my 3rd year on the team and every year I, well lets just say the first year my intent was good, and if it hadnt been for the guys I wouldnt be where I was now being able to explain anything about the robot, to work on it, to just have the knowledge and capabilities I do now. And its just a place where I fit in, no drama or girly gossip..

Melissa H. 01-04-2003 23:25

There are 4 girls on our team...we all do stuff...anything from electrical to paper work...usually, on a weekly basis during build, all of us are there...(just to keep everything under control ;))

Kevin A 01-04-2003 23:44

Our team is mostly guys, but there are still about 10 girls there. Programmed by girl, control panel by girl, electronics board by girl...the list goes on. They seem to get their hands in on all projects, i mean who can turn them down?

I can understand how difficult it would be to be in a situation where you are the only girl surrounded by guys. Just do as much as possible. Even though I may not be a girl, I know what it means to be somewhat isolated. A word to all males with inferiority complexes, grow up. Women can do just as much as men can or more.

utishpenguin 02-04-2003 02:18

mmmhmmm
 
my mom worries abotu me going to robotics... haha

i cant help it beign surrounded by guys *sniffle*

128 is the only team that I've seen this year where the two drivers are both girls. They did a great job at West Michigan, and hopefully they'll do well in Houston.

I think many people are too caught up in the "girls" issue. The number of girls on teams is growing. Traditions won't change instantly. The jobs that a lot of girls tend to do isn't always a bad thing either. It's a combination of team members' strengths that makes the team. Just because girls are more interested in "PR" stuff doesn't mean they dont gain an appreciation for science and technology, or don't know about the robot. Our chairmans award committe knows the robot well. And, we have guys that do PR stuff. Everyone interacts with the robot at some time or another but many focus on projects that can be complimented by their personal strenghts.
