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

I think Kris had a good point, alot of girls are more involved in other things, apperances and sports than something along the lines of FIRST. I tried explaining what we did to my girlfriend and it went completely over her head she wanted to see a C3P0 walking android thing, and didn't quite grasp what our goal was. Then you've got some people that think we're off to make a Battle Bot thing with flame throwers etc, then those people get dissapointed when they learn we're just playing with triangles haha. Like my friend said earlier, all of the girls on our team are mostly working on PR stuff, handouts, banner, etc AND they're our officers, so they may not be hands-on with the robot but they sure push us along (except for the one meeting they all watched The Notebook and cried alow )
