Re: Girls on FIRST teams

As I mentioned before most of the girls do the artwork type things but a few, like 2 out of the 7 of us, do a lot of work on the robot itself. One did a lot of cutting things and wiring where the other was literaly "Miss Rules" she basically memorized the rule book and constantly inspected it. Even though I did focus on the artsy stuff and fundraising (I can't help it, I love talking to people) I did have a lot of fun getting down and dirty in the transmission grease (even though I still have a scar on my hand where I hit my self with the plyers trying to get the key out) And I was one of the few females who actually liked doing the "dirty" stuff. I just don't take out garbage.
