I know one of my teachers was telling me last year about how in our school there used to be a 'Mechanics and car maintenance' class for the guys, and 'Powder Puff mechanics' for the girls. The education system has a lot to do with it, encouraging girls to take different classes than guys... And as Bryan (my teammate) points out from behind me, there is no mechanics Barbie.


I really don't notice much difference between guys and girls in the robotics room. They all act nuts anyway.

I dont see how this question is really relevant to Robotics as a whole. I see no other purpose for this other than to raise a useless issue. If there is lots of girls then great! if not then so what. Difference in sex shouldnt have anything to do with robotics, or engineering.
