We've had female captains 3 years in a row, Angela worked on the robot at machine shop last year, co-drove at all competitions and is this year's captain for Redondo High. Mira Costa claims no girls at their school would be interested. We have 8 girls on the team, all from Redondo cuz SURPRISE, when they're recruited by a friend, they find they like it. There are 21 boys on the team, Mira Costa has 10 of them. A couple of years ago there were double the Mira Costa members, 2 redondo boys and @ 2 females from Mira Costa.
Angela still runs into new boys on the block who THINK they can beat her at working on the field or the robot. NOT!!!
14yo Marygrace is our TIG welder.
Senior Becky's father is the robotics' engineer, and she's going for engineering in college.
I can tell there are freshman girls who are going to be kicking butt.
