Exactly...for most geeks like me...just the presence of girls is cool We're more worried about what the robot looks like Although I may just be speaking for myself...hee.

LOL! Speak to any of my team members to find out the truth but usually, I am the last person to care what I look like in the shop. I'm not on pits this year so I'm up in stands and I wanna look purty. Havn't figured out why but I do. Maybe it was all those weeks in the shop with only two other girls and one guy who had hair long enough to be a girl but was so not a girl cause he's muscular and amnly *hugs Kyle and then runs away cause.. No TOUCHIE KYLE rule* Seriously though, I think it's alright if you can manage to be up early and do what ya need to do. Frankly. though, I anit waking up that early to dry my hair and all. Bun is good...very good. I love the advice everyone has given though and thanks

The only thing I ponder is that has anyone, I know males are reading this thread for some reason, that you have done that was extreme in way of "beauty" products and/or not "beauty" products. Such as, covering your face with your team color and what have you? Looking for some good ideas for that too.

From what I learned last year, some Do's and Don'ts I plan on taking into consideration for this year.

Do's
1. If your hands are dirty... so what? Wear dark jeans, wipe them on them.
2. Keep your hair out of your face. If you have short hair, put it up before competition.
3. Get ready before the competition. Not on the bus, not in the stands. Before. Those extra five minutes will leave you refreshed for the rest of the day.

Don'ts
1. No matter how fired up you are, don't try to spike up your hair with glue. Worst Idea Ever.
2. Those teams that have the cool fake tattoos? Don't put them on your hands or face. They smear. Everywhere.
3. Don't do your makeup in the stands or worry about how your hair looks. You do realize that you're at a robotics competition with a ton of peers your own age, right? There are a ton of guys there, covered in sweat and grease, worrying more about solenoids and drill motors rather than if your lipstick is refreshed.

Good luck girls!

- lol, good point with the fake tattoos....and if your going somewhere warm where you might get tan...don't put the tattoo somewhere that might tan, because you might get the tattoo imprint tanned on you...ya its happened before...lol...I had a bobcat on my arm for like a week (hehehe, still love you jesse)

ok. here's some tips for saving time.

1) take yer showers at night and then either blow-dry your hair or just let it air dry over-night. this way when you get up, you have that extra 15-30 minutes to do yer make-up.

2) before you go to bed, try to get at least a general idea of what you might wanna wear the next day. even if you change your mind in the morning, for some reason, it still takes less time than just tryin to decide right off the bat in the morning. again, this also leaves you more time for make-up.

3) do your hair up in a ponytail or braid or something. 'cuz first of all, it won't get caught in anything if you're workin in the pits. and second of all, hair up is less likely to get knotted up or messed up bad.

4) go easy on the make-up. just do cover-up, mascara, and lipgloss. if you wanna put on a bit of eyeshadow, go for it. but remember, guys are gonna be more worried about the bots than yer looks during the competitions (so save your great make-up for later) plus, the more make-up you put on, the more chance of getting it messed up there is.

oh yeah...and always, always remember to put on deoderant. Nobody wants to sit next to a deoderant-less person who's been sweatin all day.

you can always try nailpolish remover. that usually works. or something like "GOOP" which is a waterless thing used to get off all kinds of stains and stuff. it works quite well.

It's not on me, thank God, however a family friends daughter got ahold of a perment marker a day or so ago and has it EVERYWHERE. My mother and her friend have not been able to get it off and thought since robotics teams deal with grease stains and everything else, they might know. Nail Polish remover is very harsh on the skin and did I mention that it's on her face?

Isopropyl Alcohol works pretty good. It is not too harsh for the skin either. Just test a skin spot first to be sure that they are not allergic or something.

another thing that might work, and might be gentler, is an astringent cleaner or maybe a makeup remover.

Back the the Make up thing...I don't usually wear that much...but I would say eye liner, I know it is kinda an odd ball one but when I wear that with Mascara it helps mke my eyes look bigger...so then if if I see myself I look awake so then I FEEL AWAKE! As many of you would know i'm usually VERY energetic!
