Female Captains and Girls on FRC Teams

[gabrielau23]

I'm currently the Strategy Captain for Space RAIDers 2537 (in charge of Drive Team, Scouting, and Season Strategy), but I'm a guy. I can, however, safely say that I wouldn't be where I was right now if it weren't for an extremely influential female lead and Captain. For some reason I still think of her as my captain. Anyway, she had a very strong presence on the team. Very influential and was well respected by everybody. Truly one of the driving forces behind my initial and continued passion for robotics. She didn't really like to back down to much, either. She was super nice and super funny, but she made it clear that nobody was going to push her around. A great role model.
