Re: Girls on Teams

Our team has 5 girls, and is about 20 big. We have 2 who work on the robot, one of whom drives and is our leader. We also have 2 who do PR and promotional stuff, and 1 who actually was one of our human players. Additionally, this may sound a lil sexist, but it's true: girls are really useful in the pit if you need to borrow something from another team. People are a lot less likely to say no to a decent-looking female than to a pasty-loking male...especially if they have spent the past 6 weeks in the shop building the robot with no contact with the outside world. (notice the number of females doing analysis, too...most teams realize the advantage females have and use it to benefit their team). I'm not saying females can't build or drive...our team is a living testament to the fact that they can. I'm simply saying that females do have an advantage over males when it comes to persuasion and extracting information
