I say that from personal experience, not a generalization or stereotype of females involved with FIRST.

The way I see it... If you get out of bed in the morning and manage to stumble onto the bus on time, you're set.

during competitions, i wear makeup, doesn't mean i take 3 hours on it. makeup's made for speed nowadays anyway. bit of the powder /concealer in one, tinted lipgloss, blush, use blush as eyeshadow. (unless you wanna spend 30 seconds more opening and applying eyeshadow too) takes less than 5 minutes, and you look nice the whole day. (although some teammates in the past would take forever ) as for hair, yeah, ponytail or half ponytail, unless your roomate wakes up up 2 hours before dawn to get breakfast at the bob evan's across the street and you have like, an hour to spend... than you can curl your hair.

before any of that though, brush teeth, deoderant, make sure clothes are on right. is that really that hard??


Then again... maybe I was only able to actually get ready because i had the crazy roomate who woke everyone up far too early...oh wait.. i still do... hrm. ::wants to switch rooms:: ::realizes mad love for roomates::

anyways... if you have sane, typical roomates who like waking up at a normal hour, don't worry about it... but if you're like me... either learn to ignore LOUD music and the sounds of roomie trying hard to wake you up in the mornings, or grow a love for coffee.

Ladies, if you are to ask advice on whether you look good or not, ask me! I am not saying that I am desparate or anything it is just that you should get your opinion from the people you want to impress: guys!

The fact that girls participate in robotics competitions is really awesome! So your presence is very appreciative. Anyway I heard that wearing pink will make anyone beautiful a hundred fold.

So guys... how would you like to see a girl at a robotics competition? Looking like they just rolled out of bed? Looking like it took a couple hours to get ready?

Now that we're done clueing each other in, why don't you give us your opinions.

Clothes optional?

You should present yourself in the matter in which you are most comfortable. Presenting yourself any other way is fake.

People will find you attractive for just being yourself, or they won't, in which case you shouldn't worry about it.

I'm totally a t-shirt and jeans type. I refuse to get all dolled up without a really good reason.

Take notice: Dean always wears jeans and a denim shirt. Do you think he worries about it?

so you go girls, don't worry about to much at competition... t-shirt, shower, deodorant, probably good enough....
I have to totally agree with this dude. The most a girl should spend on make-up, and maintenance is five minutes. Anything more than five minutes would make a lady overly worried on her appearance, and could ruin her attitude for the whole day. Not to mention that it would be very bad for your team. Regardless, the ladies should be more focused on enjoying themselves at competitions!

So yes, I encourage the ladies to wake up looking like they rolled out of bed and be ready for a robotics competition, rather than spending several minutes/hours in front of the mirror each morning. You need your beauty sleep!

Beauty Tip eh??

This is Hilarious!!!! sorry... I remember trying to figure out what to wear after we were done.. haha..

But here's my advice...

1. Wear your team shorts and shirt.. it will let everyone know who's team your on.. hehe

2. All you really need is to brush your hair and make yourself look nice.. ponytail, pigtails, french braids, dutch braid, and so on.. they will always be cute..

3. Plan what you want to put on the night before.. what I mean by that is, if your going to wear glitter, then have glitter waiting for you, or if it's mascara or whatever.. Knowing most girls, they have a make-up bag full of well make-up and they're always taking so long to search for what they are looking for..

4. And if all else fails, just say that you didn't go to sleep for 2 days because you were worried about your lost dog and maybe someone will believe you!

#1, don't worry about it. #2 I put my hair in spikes. I have longish hair too, and the spikes add character to our bland team. Be yourself and do what you want.

I spend more then 5 minutes on my apperance...does that make me a bad person?

Its hard to put this hunk of hair up into a mohawk and have it look presentable And my hair has become sort of a team icon.

Advice for girls on what i think:
Dont be fake, be yourself. We are more worried about the bots usualy anyways so it doesn't really matter. Just smile cuz a smile can mean alot if your having a bad day and your bot isn't working.

Come now!

I take an hour to get ready - shower, blow dry my hair, fix it, put on makeup, and turn around a couple times in the mirror (to make sure everything looks good, you know).

But I had a BLAST in St. Louis. And besides, it paid off for that Funky Chicken... hence http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=18732 .

It's okay to look nice, just do your normal beauty routine. You never know when you'll be elbow deep in robot parts and the cutest boy comes and asks if you need help.

Okay, I have read enough replies to acknowledge that the ladies feel more comfortable getting ready for a robotics competition on their own time, and that the whole five minutes thing is unrealistic. I was trying to emphasize that you really do not need to worry about your appearance as much. But if you feel comfortable spending hours in front of the mirror getting ready, well then go right ahead.

As for you, oneangrydwarf, preparing a mohawk takes great skill and dexterity to perfect. Thus, needing more than five minutes prepare. Unless, you are awesome and can make a pink mohawk in five minutes. Make sure it is not sloppy.

I think other girls will vouch, too, when I say that no boy would want to see me five minutes after I wake up. *shudders*

Okay, here's what my comrades and I do to get ready. Not much in the way of MAKEUP, (I don't like makeup....) We use puffy paint and put it on our faces. We draws giantsixties all over and we paint those stripes under our eyes (think football). All I do for getting dressed up is for the sake of spirit. Just get all colored and get ready to cheer/work. Puffy paint doesn't get in the way!
