And I have no idea how people can forget Kyle Hughes, mentor of 27, Team RUSH.

I was focused on the "give a smart female
the ego of a male counterpart and I think you'll find the rock star in FRC" part.
There are some powerful egos in the FRC community. Those egos may drive innovation and continue to raise the bar. They may do that by challenging each other and themselves. I can't seem to identify those egos in any women in FRC that I know, have met, or have heard of. What makes the ego? Can it be developed? Can it be transplanted or inspired?
But - keep the list of outstanding women/young women coming. It's awesome.
