Re: Female Captains and Girls on FRC Teams

We've got a fair amount of girls on the team this year, 22 girls on a team of 75, both numbers constantly growing with each year. Out of our 15 sub-team leaders, eight are girls. Five are leaders of business teams, and three are leaders of engineering sub teams, although, both of our team captains are guys.

Personally, I don't see a difference in leadership between the girls of the teams and the boys of the team. They all get their teams on task and are hard workers so....

We do have some competitions where a girl drive team is required, so when we go to these girls-only competitions we call the girls on our team "EveBots".

I personally am proud to say that three of my six sisters have been on our team though (with one of them potentially moving to another team in North Carolina once the rest of the family moves).
