You know - it's ironic how off-topic, yet so on-topic this comment actually is.

First, the work and effort in this organization extends far beyond solely playing with computers and working on robots.

Second - It's mentality and attitude like this that can discourage girls - or anyone else for that matter - from getting involved. To benefit oneself, if one is going to be involved in this organization, one should get both those items in check.

Moving right along....
