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

They have a Woodie Flowers Finalist, Outstanding Volunteer and numerous UFH Awards to demonstrate this as well. You do not receive any of these accolades without doing something right. - J Flex 188 [more]

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

I, for one, think that all-girls exclusive teams are out to prove that just because there are no guys on the team, doesn't mean that they aren't capable of making a good robot or do anything special. Look at one of our partners for winning the west GTR, the "Where's Waldo" team 1547. They are all-girls. As for any other exclusive teams, they might be doing the same.

This is only an opinion.
