Re: Why is it that not many girls are into robotics?

hmm.. more girls are getting into engineering though..
for example, our team is probably 60-70% girls, 30-40% guys. the arm group and programming group are primarily made of girls, there are a few girls in drive train and electrical. our community outreach is also primarily girls, but most probably have experimented with one building group or another... :shrugs:
it's somewhat true that more guys than girls tend to dedicate more time to FIRST... i often find myself in the midst of all guys, with maybe one or two other girls... hours after most people left... but more and more girls are starting to stay later, and becoming more interested.
all our engineers, unfortunately, are all guys... but change occurs over a long period of time... hopefully, there will be more girls involved... it'll take time though.
