Well, i first found out about robotics the summer between my 8 th and 9th grade school years because i had started to volunteer at the Museum of Discovery and Science, and they were having a demo/ off season event and I saw how cool it was. Then I ran into one of my old friends who was involved with it. I asked her about all of it and she told me about it. Little did I know that Dillard had a robotics team. And when I discovered it, by others telling me about it, I believe, I wanted to join. Also, I have been impacted greatly but FIRST and robotics in general because I have seen what it takes to do teamwork. I was always interested in building things because my dad is a carpentar, and I am the tom-boy girlie. Plus, two of my girl cousins and an uncle are engineerers. My one cousin designed the GPS system in cars but, also, when I found out about RCU, I was estatic. I really hope we can get as many girls into FIRST as possible.... maybe even an all girls team somewhere.... although I do know one thing, some of the guys I know despise having girls doing mechanical work.... lol.
