Some background info, that will answer some of the questions in the thread.

Thanks to all for adding their messages to this thread.
I'm was surprised to learn there are so many all female student teams.

Our team does not have a name. Heck it's barely a team, the student applications are due back today, and interviews next week.

This is the 4th team sponsored by Xerox in the Rochester NY area, and it was requested that this be all Xerox female mentors.

In reality, as this team gets up and running, I believe male influence will come from the parents as well as other FIRST teams, etc.
