My team has about 11 students, 4 of which are actually productive members. I am the only girl, and one of the 4 productive members. This year was my first, so I'm not an expert at anything, but I definitely helped.

In the pit I made sure the sprockets (sp?) on the wheels were bolted in tightly, and answered questions for scouters. If there was nothing to do I prepared the little baggies we handed out.

I'll probably organize some type of recruiting for next year, but I already have one more female member recruited for next year.

At Nationals two female judges came to our pit and were talking to us. They asked "So where are the rest of the girls on your team?" So I responded, "I'm the only one." They totally flipped out. They were so excited to hear I was the only one. They had to take a picture with me.
