Re: what happens when you give a nonFIRSTER a robot?

This is easy.

First, you can respect the girl a bit more by leaving out, "she was a cheerleader," the next time you tell the story. It's irrelevant and sexist.

Second, you can invite her to join the team. You can keep her from breaking things in the future by teaching her how they work.

Third, you can work with her to build a robot that doesn't break when the next "cheerleader" comes along and takes it for a spin.
