Re: All Girls Teams?

I'm on the all girls team in the co-ed school. It's hard because the guys team has many more active members than our team, but the few girls we have are learning loads and working hard to have a robot as good as if not better than the guys.
The nice thing is that both teams are able to get feed back from each other, and help each other out.
Also, each team has their own sponsors, so that's never an issue, but you do get a lot of drama, but I think that's can be any high school students who spend most of their free time together.
At the moment Team 1929 has more of their robot complete than Team 555, but that's because we (both teams) are waiting for parts to come.
Also, it's just fun to have two teams, were as previous years, the guys did all the driving and mentoring in the competitions and the girl would cheer them on. This year the girls get to drive their own robot, with the guys cheering them on.
If you see either Team 1929, you'll see Team 555 there cheering their friends on. And reverse.
