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

As long as it isn't preventing males from participating (either they have another team as an option, or there aren't any to exclude like in 2177's case) I have no problem with all female teams. If the mentors of that particular team think that is the best way to work towards the goals of FIRST, who am I to say otherwise?

Note: The above doesn't mean that I would be against female teams even if I felt it were my place to judge.
