You know, girly stuff. =)

This conversation developed earlier in this thread. I assume he means things not related to actually building the robot: specifically scouting, PR, making buttons, web design, etc. But I'd also like to hear what he has to say for himself

As for Team 30, females are taking over next year. *evil laughter*

It just happened to work out that a lot of core members who will be seniors next year happen to be female. Or maybe it's more that most of the females happen to be core members who will be seniors. In any case, Kristi will be head of the electronics team, I'll be working with mechanical, and Tetty, Sarah and Selena will be all over everything else: PR and fundraising and Chairman's award. The plan is to do active recruiting and get lots of people involved in those areas, but those girls will be leading those sub-teams.

In terms of "girly stuff," though, it seems interesting to note that during this current season, our animation, photoshop, and web design teams were all male (with one exception).

Or maybe that's just what happens when your school is about 70% male. =)
