Cool Re: Girls on Teams

Hello, I am a girl from team 698. We have 6 or 7 girls on our team out of about 40 in the team and we have many jobs. We don't slack either. We have 6 officer positions--President and VP are guys--but the other four are held by females, including myself. If there is any advertising done by girls on our team, it is our choice. Our PR is a girl, but good luck trying to get us as cheerleaders. Sure we'll cheer on our team, but we're not here for just looks. Our girls work with programming, pnuematics, animation, electronics/special teams, and building and designing our robot. We don't let guys push us around Anything planned or organized is either done by a girl, or helped by a girl. Some of us show more drive, determination and dedication than the others, but that's human nature. We are very upset when we hear that girls don't do a lot of building and try to break all stereotypes. One of our famous phrases is "Girls rule with power tools!" We are just as capable as the guys and try to help out as much as possible by doing any job that comes our way--building, designing, advertising, anything.
