even though i'm still clueless, for the most part, about robotics and building, it was still fun to be on the team.
alot of the other girls had that same problem, cause some of the boys thought they were as *dumb* as me, but they just stayed right there, training in the pre-season and learning how to machine and what-not better than most of the boys and when the season started most of em contributed more to the robot that most of the boys. just stick close to whatever's going on and be the first to volunteer. that made our mentors have soo much respect for the few girls that would just stick by them as close as possible and volunteer/jump in whenever someone was needed. our head mentor tells everyone that if he could, he'd have a team of just girls.
