Re: New Michigan Offseason Robotics Competition

Your cause is good, but I think you may have went a bit too far with it. Not allowing the guys to do anything would discourage them, so they might not help preparing for the event as much as they should. Also, you would be putting a whole lot of stress on the girls at the event, because most teams don't have that many girls, usually around a quarter of the team, so you're basically having 25% of the team do the work of the whole team.

Girls-only drive team is good, but you should allow guys to do some pit work (maybe restrict to one guy at a time, or only allow them to do what the girls tell them to do), that way the guys would have something to do and won't be bored and probably a bit negative, and the girls have a bit less stress on them, while still maintaining the purpose of the event.
