Are all girl FIRST team counterproductive to the philosophy of FIRST?

Although I don't know many female mentors very well, I know a few current students who I have a great deal of respect for for the work they do on their teams:

Kara from 1189, Nikki from 2016, Stephanie from 1323 all come to mind.


And I have no idea how people can forget Kyle Hughes, mentor of 27, Team RUSH.

I was focused on the "give a smart female the ego of a male counterpart and I think you'll find the rock star in FRC" part.

There are some powerful egos in the FRC community. Those egos may drive innovation and continue to raise the bar. They may do that by challenging each other and themselves. I can't seem to identify those egos in any women in FRC that I know, have met, or have heard of. What makes the ego? Can it be developed? Can it be transplanted or inspired?

But - keep the list of outstanding women/young women coming. It's awesome.
