I have found that the girls are usually only there cause their boyfirneds are when you do that, they arent actually interested in the team. There are of course, some exceptions. We recruited the 3 girls we have because they saw us driving the robot around and working on it (actually, thats how we recruited most of the team, although this method also gets you those people who only want to be there to drive the robot, but not to help build, or fix it, so be careful). From my experiences at Timberlane (my school) many girls arent into the whole robotics/ technology/ mechanics/ electronics etc thing. They are more into art, music, fashion, sports or boys (again, not true for all, but thats what most girls at timberlane seem to be like). We've got about 3 girls i know who are actually into robotics and robotics related stuff.
