I haven't read the whole thread but part of it and the first one and have to say, unless every single guy on the team agrees to not going or all the guys go to a regional of their own than this just doesn't sit right with me. I think it would be better to get a full team involvement throughout the season. We have about eight girls on our team and each of them had some part in building this robot, and although almost all of them scout at the competition that is because all of them are first our second yearers and have decided that's what they feel best at. If these girls want to be more involved members of the team I don't see what is stoping them from doing that throughout the season. Last year one of our senior girls on the team was a build leader and she did a phenominal job at managing a lot of the guys and seeing our appendage from last year to completion. I think that if you encourage these girls to go for what they want to do througout the season it would be a much better way of handling things.
