Re: Girls on Teams
 

we're an all girl team too... so we do everything... i'm kind of disappointed that other teams don't have that many girls on theirs :(

Re: Girls on Teams
 

I take back my previous statistic of 6 females out of 22 members.

Most of the freshmen on our team qualify as females, so I would alter this figure to more like 13 females out of 22 members.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

Team 648 has 7 girls on our team out of 22, and they are invaluable. (two are mentors, but they are still dedicated to the team). They do many things on the team, but 3 of them have recently taken to making the team scrapbook before the end of our season.

Team 1305 has 23 members on the team and 6 are girls. 1 is PR and the rest are engineering. We also have two mentor females and have many female parents helping out. Without the girls the boys would be lost. Next year your cheif engineer is a girl. Which is awesome. :)

Sorry. We have 4: webmaster, helper (and 1 of 3 who went to kickoff), parent-who-made-flag-and-banner-and-buttons, and parent-who-drove-the-programmer (my mom)

Re: Girls on Teams
 

Im from team WildStang #111, and we have about like maybe about 12 girls involved on the team and the rest are guys. There is like 60 sumthin guys on the team. But this year was a very good year for girls to get involved with the robot. Out pit crew had 3 girls on it...all ivolved with electrical stuff. And the good thing is that next year all our electrical mini pit crew is going to be made up of girls. So well have like 4 girls on pit crew. Then the other girls that go to the competetion are either scouting or video taping. :D

Re: Girls on Teams
 

We've got 6, but 3 are fairly useless, and 2 are graduating (one going to caltech, and I'm going to Olin), so next year's team will have.... you guessed it folks, ONE fully functional female. I just hope the poor thing doesn't pass out from a lack of estrogen in the shop.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

When I said this back on page 1, my main idea was that girls are a part of every single aspect of our team. I just wanted to clarify that in order to dispel any rumors that I am an insensitive loser. It was merely an attempt at humor through verbal irony. Lo siento.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

On my team, there aren't many girls who do much "engineering work" but those of us that do are very good at it and work hard.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

We have five girls on the team, two do pr work, one helps with mechanics, one is for support, and the last one does like all of our welding, so we love her.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

we have a couple of grls on our team over in hauppauge and each and every one of them do their part if its welding or putting together weels setting up programs ext. but yeah they don't just sit around and do nothing they help out.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

Right now, I can think of five girls (not counting teachers) on 1293 for 2005.

One does PR, one is a programmer, two of them work on the robot (one specializes in drilling holes), and one just got in yesterday, so I'm not really sure where she'll settle in.

Re: Girls on Teams
 

This year being our team's rookie year we dont have many students involved because they dont think its very interesting. We are doing our best to keep the students working on ideas and getting their friends. I wasn't able to attend a meeting until tuesday but there are supposidly 3 girls, maybe a 4th on our team, currently we really only have one group and all the girls like the guys are helping with ideas for parts and brainstorming, we are all equals doing the same things.

Re: Girls on Teams

Re: Girls on Teams
 

What are all the girls in FIRST doing on their team this year? Im involved with mechanical this year. Its a new step for me. I am the only girl on mechnical and the boys are very nice to me with using tools and everything which i really appriciate it. I think that girls should get involved with the robot and should do whatever. I think throughout the year more and more girls will become involved with FIRST that itll scare the guys! :ahh: lol
