This is quite true on 1293...well, except that none of the girls as far as I know CAD, and we aren't planning on pneumatics...but other than that, it's quite true.
I can think of five girls on the team off the top of my head on 1293...one handles the more artistic parts of the team (our crate will be stylish this year!), one programs like mad, and the other three work on the robot itself.
And in their individual areas, more often than not, they can run circles around me. (This is partially why the robot is running as well as it has, and 1293's logo remains free of stick figures.)
