Re: Female Captains and Girls on FRC Teams

857 is one of those teams that has had big swings in female membership, and it's always (well, as long as I've been around, anyway) been light (never swinging past 50/50 to a male minority). We've usually had a mostly-to-entirely male mentoring group. The numbers are a bit better this year with 3 girls on the team to about 15 guys. Back in 2010?, we had 5 or 6 girls, and the driver/operator pair was two sisters.

Having more girls might be nice, but we can't fight every battle (inspiring any students, regardless of gender, can be hard enough!).
