Re: How did this happen!?!?! 7 new girls in a team of ~20

We have four girls on our team currently. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's more than Purple Haze has ever had before. We do just as much as the boys do too. I am the only Inventor person on the team. I am also "head" scout, and I do all sorts of robot and field building. For our other competition, BEST, I was also a driver. One of the other girls is our battery guy. The other two do building and miscellaneous administrative work that none of the guys want to do (like documentation). It is also because of us that our team displays any sort of appearal coordination on competition days. We take care of the spirit stuff, etc. The only thing we need now is a female programmer. I'll have to find one somewhere. Girls rule!!!
