(thus, many girls did not go to the Las Vegas regional). The boys chalked it up to Gracious Professionalism.

Thanks for the clarification. I can understand that if you had multiple opportunities to compete, and if all of the boys agreed to let the girls go, then this would be fine. But I'm assuming that if a male felt that he really wanted to attend this regional that he would be allowed? I'm only looking at opportunity here. Don't get me wrong, I think that getting more girls involved in FIRST is great, and that sending an all-girls team is a great idea, if everyone agrees on it, and no one feels left out due to something that they can't control; their gender.
