Re: Are all girl FIRST team counterproductive to the philosophy of FIRST?
As long as equal opportunity exists, there is nothing wrong with forming a team solely for females. If it means that males cannot take part, or would have hardships in taking part, then it's wrong. For example, if an all-girls team was formed in an isolated city that could only support one team and the guys would have to travel 50 miles to find a team, that would not be right.
Single-gender schools have shown positive results for both males and females. The same could be true for FRC teams.
