Well, I'm one of 3 or 4 girls on a team of about 20. I'm a machinist and the drive team coach/mentor person. I like to believe I added that much needed feminine touch to everything I made on this year's robot. "It's pretty!" rang through the rooms when I really liked
something. One of the other girls helped with building the crate, among other things. Come competition time, she was the Queen of all of our scouts. She was in control of, not only the scouting forms, but the scouts themselves. The other two were helpful during the building season with just about anything that needed doing.
Besides being good at building, machining and the like, the Queen and I did some of the pit interviews for our scouting notebook. We never realized how good we could be at it.
But we met some great people doing that!
