I think the impact of females is being underestimated. The machinst girls are good at what they do. The PR girls are good at what they do. Same as with the guys.

Whether they are electricians, machinists, number crunchers, or "just do PR" (as has been said) there is still strong impact.

I wouldn't be on my current team if it wasn't for one of the PR girls, and I don't think we could have won Engineering Inspiration at GLR if it weren't for the many projects she and the other girls that did PR did.

There are a lot of jobs that need done and it doesn't really matter what gender fills the job. It just happens that more guys than girls want to do the "dirty work" but it's always accepted when they want to jump in.

One girl on our team moved from PR to working on the mill. Another went from PR to helping me with pnuematics. Another from PR to working on the electronics box and control box.

Just because a girl is doing PR or something not "robot building" doesn't really matter. They are just as important. If nobody knows who you are, what you won't be important to anyone else.
