What do all of you think about forming all girl FRC teams in addition to an existing FRC team in a co-ed school?
From what I've heard from people I know in robotics there have been the stand points:

1. Its good! It gets more girls involved!

2. Its not so good! The girls are completely separated and not as much learning and sharing of knowledge involved!

I'd like to get an idea what the whole FIRST community has to say on this issue.
How many people can raise that much money every year?
