Re: Girls,Why did you join FIRST???
The year I joined was the first year Brother Rice (the all-boys school next door) integrated Marian students into the program. They had been working to get the girls on the team since their rookie year, so when their school finally let them, the guys were definitely into pitching the idea of robotics out to the girls.
One of those guys happened to be one of my friends from Model UN. He was so enthused about the whole OCCRA/FIRST experience (which seemed to fit my avid interest in math, science, and business) that I decided to keep an ear open for the announcements on the PA system.
.. And so it came to be. I joined 573 for the 2002 OCCRA season, and fell completely in love with everything - the building, being on pit crew, talking to other teams, etc.
