Arrow Re: Why is it that not many girls are into robotics?

hehe... new smileys!!!! I am the only girl on my team. At the beggining of this year there was me and another girl but she quit due to another team member and his sexism. Alot of girls I think are not joining because of the sexium in some of the teams, like me old team. I can see that most teams (over 90%) are not mainly sexist teams. But the few who are really turn women away from being part of the team. Its hard to fight for a place, you get tired of continualy fighitng for a place or say in the team. We started a new team due to one of these sexist teams, which really was only two or three people, but it ruined it for me. Along with being sexist there were many other peoples that just could not be fixed. But we made another team and are hoping to have more women join. I would love if I wasent the only girl, but it just dosent seem to work out... Just a reminder to some guys we can build as well keep an open mind. But to the 90% of guys who arent like that thank you sooooo much♥
