Re: Are all girl FIRST team counterproductive to the philosophy of FIRST?

I personlly do not see an issue with an all girl FIRST Robotics team. If group of girls who share an interest and science and technology want to hang out and be on a robotics team, let them. Having girls interested is fantastic and being able to get thirty or forty girls on the team who enjoy it is great. I was impressed by the Girls Of Steel team at Pittsburgh this year. They were not afraid to get their hands dirty and built an impressive robot also. Some girls just want to hang around other girls. I`m sure these all girl teams wouldn`t say no to helping start another team that allows both genders anyway if one was started and needed help.
