Thanks everyone who has responded so far! It's interesting to see the hypotheses about why in some teams, the girls seem to do quite well comparatively. The theory that the girls who can stick it out in a male dominated environment are also the girls who have the motivation to go for leadership and have leadership skills makes sense to me.

It's also interesting how people have observed that there's less girls on teams that are wishy-washy about their dedication to robotics. It's that way on our team also. We have so many boys that come about half the time and don't use their time very well, while most of the girls on our team are heavily involved.

By the way, I would really love to see the results of that survey!
