It's a little disheartening to hear people in this thread be so dismissive to be honest. "Just do PR"? PR and promotional material is part of what makes FIRST to begin with. Spreading the message of FIRST, organizing outreach, getting your team name and FIRST out there is INCREDIBLY important.
A huge part of FIRST is that "It's about more than just the robot".

I agree. I am a guy and recently I have drifted towards more photography and videography. I like to think that my job helps our team just as much as the builders. Just because girls aren't making the robot doesn't mean they aren't an important part of the team.
