The odd team out (not that its bad thing ;) )

Allright: continuing the tradition of the girl dominated team every year at our school; team 128 has: 17 girls, 8 guys

i dont know why we always have more girls than guys, but we do

Our team's split about 50/50, and has been for the four years i've been involved. Most of the team's leadership are girls, as are about half the engineers. It's nice to know we're ahead of the curve, even though all the alumni are guys.

I'm one of 12 girls on a team of 35 total, so basically one third of team 103 is girls. Each girl has a very important role, including team secretary, treasurer, and vice president. What would the guys do without us? haha. jk I have to give the guys some credit too... we'd have no one to build the robot without them. )

mostly girls

Our team has about 13 members and only 2 are boys. The positions are equally split we have a girl and guy driver and me and another guy as human player. last yr we were a team of over 50 and there were way more boys that girls. Fortunately most of them graduated. While me and the girl driver are graduating this yr there will be an opportunity for the other girls to step up. Unless we get some "fresh blood" that is composed of alot of boys. But anyways he all get along pretty great and I don't see the guys complaining about their being the overflow of girls. :-)

team 668 is predominantly female we are very proud of this.
my memory says 14 female to 9 male, but i think my count is a little bit off...alot of the females help with animation and chairmans, but there are about 5 of us that help extensively with the robot itself. all of the females play and important role on the team. even if it's small, we can't do without it. i have informally taken a few roles (we don't have actual offices on the team) girls rock!! (i guess guys do too... )

Girls... err.. uhm..

bah.

I was going to reply intelligently, but I think I've lost my ability to count.

But I think we're 75ish% male. Could be a little more than that though. I guess that makes me a minority.

We started out with 6 girls and 29 guys... now we have about 6 girls and 24ish guys... so tha ratio of girls to guys is about 1:4!

W00T! My team, as stated earler, has a ratio of 11 girls to 2 boys. I guess its ok, but sometimes, when we need to do "guy" things, we can't. (I am not going to post, they are some-what inaproprate) I'm not complaining, but it wouldn't hurt to get some more guies in our club. Mabye a 20:13 girl:guy ratio would be fine w/ me. Just so we (guies) can do what we want to. (Hit up on chicks w/ out being called pigs )

<Edit>I am the only male driver on our team The other one is the human player!</edit>

We don't ration the boys. Any of the girls can have as many as they want. :-)

Out team is about 5:1 boys to girls, which is probably a better ratio than what you are going to see in many Engineering colleges in the fields of Electrical and Mechanical, most of the girls (ehh women) liked chemical engineering back when I graduated. I think there were a total of 3 or 4 women in my graduating class at Purdue in Electrical. Until things change that type of ratio is a drwaback to engineering which is why Dean and Woodie encourage everyone to participate.

Hey Alfred I was wondering if anyone was going to pop that in.
