: I stand corrected.. kind of.

: After scouring all the forums on this site, I found two women who confessed to being engineers. Kate and Collen from the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science. But still, 2 women vs. how many guys? That's still not a very good ratio.

If you are to look for women vs. men ratio in the forum to get a sense of the same ratio in the whole competition, then you are looking in the wrong place. In here, the ratio probably only show how many women use the internet vs. men. And also, most of the people posting in here are the more dedicated people in FIRST and engineers who take time writing messages instead of spending all of them on the robot, and help other teams out. So, if you are looking for a general ratio representing FIRST's women vs. men ratio, then this isn't really a good place for it.

One thing off of this topic. I was one of the member of the only US team that attended Canada FIRST last year. I was helping out that team a little bit, but I never had time because I was mainly working on US FIRST with GRT... I really hope you and your team have lots of fun doing US FIRST.
