Girls on Teams

[Danielle Fox]

Our team has three girls of about twenty-four. One is a junior on electrical, and the other two are juniors (myself included) on acquistion/elevation

[IndySam]

We have four girls on our team right now, three of them are rookies.

If I had a team composed of students like these four we would win the championship for sure. They are all great.

Hey-
There is three girls on our team, I do programming and I also helped out with the robot, and i'm i guess suppose to do scouting but i don't know if still am. Another girl is in charge of the scouting, and the third just comes, haha i don't know what she really does.

=D

I'm currently the only girl on my team and I am captain of the team.

I'm one of only technically 3 or 4 girls on my team. I know I'm new to this(I joined my freshman year w/o any experience), and now I can do drive train and assembly. I don't really care that there aren't many girls on the team; it doesn't really bother me much. Whoever is good at the job(I.E. PR, electronics, robot stuff) should do what needs to be done, whether or not your a boy or a girl.

We have 3 girls on team of 23. One of the girls was recommended to us by our video production teacher to help us take and compile our videos and photos. The other girl is her assistant, and is learning how to do video production. I am the third girl on the team, as well as President and Treasurer of the club and Captain of the team. I do everything from build mock ups of the field, to fill in as the robot driver, to hotel planning, and everything in between. (My father is the head advisor, so I get tossed around from group to group when people are absent. All of you who are advisor's kids will understand wht I mean )

funny thing is we have 2 grls on our team but they r the most helpful and we r a rookie team so we need alll the help we can get from them

It seems like a number of teams have an average of two to three girls each.

[RoXmySoX]

well there are only three girls on our team. and we all have active roles on working on the robot. the guys didnt want us on the "cheerleading" team, and gave us specific positions. I am a Hardware Team Lead. My other friend is part of my team, and me and her had our idea for making two levels for all the connections. The last girl is also getting dirty, drilling holes and everything. So im happy to say we dont have the role of the cheerleaders, but an actual part of the team.

I thnk grls probably do more thn a guy bcuz they want to prove they can do btr guys in any situation

It does seem like that. What will be interesting will be to have some of the teams post again in a couple of years and see how the teams have grown and how many girls have joined.

I agree, on our team there has been a tremendous amount of growth but especially with girls, 2 years ago there were 2 girls on the team, this year there are 12!!!

On our team there are 4 girls, myself included of course. I'm in charge of the three of them though because if I don't give them things to do they really don't do anything, that or complain that I didn't give them anything to do. They don't like to be useless which is good but they rely on me for things to do.

Adena and Adara are twins, both seniors and they work on tasks that I ask them. Adara takes care of the blog so she keeps track of daily accounts. Adara helps out her sister and keeps track of things going on, and changes in what's going on with the team to tell her sister and myself.

Kiwi, a junior, she makes the logo and designs things like our shirts and posters for the team.

I'm a sophomore. I manage our website on my own, video record everything, take pictures, help out with anything our two captains need and act as a secretary for the team as well as treasurer. Last year I the awards, send out letters and this year I'm mainly too busy to do that yet but I ran an interview of our captain, Alex for our city/school's personal TV channel. I do a lot but not really machinery or programming because we've got the guys doing that, our captains are the best two guys you can find and everyone's close so they let me sleep if i'm exhausted during a practice.

The guys really baby the girls on the team. They're quite protective of us. The other girls aren't around all the time but I have to be so the guys baby me a lot more than the others. They constantly check in to make sure I'm okay and they really don't like me to be in situations where they could do something and hurt me. The guys let us do anything we want to help and they let me do what I do best and that's what I let the other girls do too.

Our team has eight girls out of twenty-four students on it.

I am not on an all girls team but I am on a team. My team has about 6 girls and I am the oldest student girl because I started and that was my teams rookie year in 2005. My team is Team 1544 the Arctic Ice Bears. Our team drink is Mountain Dew(notice the avatar).
