[FIRST-e 250]

I'm happy to say that on our team we have a fairly large group of girls who (for the most part) are very active in building the robot. Our team has a lot of mechanical talent in our female members, and we wouldn't be able to do nearly as well as we do without them. We have a few girls who mostly do team spirit, but they are never relegated to that role, it's just what they prefer to do. The only lack we have is that we have no female programmers. I'm not sure why, but the past three years I've never seen any girl on our team take a serious interest in programming. Next year, after myself and the senior mechanics move on, our mechancial section is going to consist of mostly girls, which I think is really cool.
