They responded saying, "how do you guys build a robot?" Mutal respect for different talents is a great way to practice GP in house.

If only more team members had the same epiphany. As a mentor, I don't get many chances to work with the students, but the adults on the team were very supportive. When I was in high school, no one went out of their way to treat us poorly, but I know that the majority of the team considered me and a lot of the other girls to be useless hangers-on. We were only vaguely appreciated even after we won a regional award. I was sad ;_;
