Poll: Claws/Grabbers by Females
I have now attended the Sacramento and Portland regionals. At both competitions, the only claws that were seen were either built by all-girls schools or designed by a female on the team. In addition, the team that I work with that built a claw is an all-girls school. (They don't compete until the SoCal comp.) I'm just curious if this trend holds true for most of the country or is just coincidence.
Also, if your team considered using a claw, who came up with it and why did you choose not to use it? indieFan

Re: Poll: Claws/Grabbers by Females
Not to be real negative towards the thread poster or anything, but....
I don't really see why it matters... A claw is a claw and both sexes are equally capable of designing the same things. It might just be a coincidence that all girl teams made a claw. Claws dont seem to be that popular of a thing (judging from FLR), so its definitely possible that its just coincidence. In contribution, we didnt use a claw. If we did, chances are it would've been designed by a guy since we only have 1 or 2 female designers (if any?). We decided as a team in a pre-design strategy meeting what would be the most effective and easiest method to get tetras, and a claw was ruled out as being too complicated and requiring too much precision.

Re: Poll: Claws/Grabbers by Females
with respect to all who have already posted, this shouldn't be an insult nor too controversial, hes ask a extremely interesting question, wouldn't it be odd if he stumbles on a weird fact like girls will use this method in design and guys go toward this design to do the same thing..... maybe no one has noticed before these patterns and trends. i would personally like to know some stats and numbers on this theory.
