Re: Why is it that not many girls are into robotics?
We have four girls on the team this year: an artist/typist and three design and construction people.
I think robotics is mostly made up of guys because of the whole conditioning thing someone was talking about earlier...
I know one of my teachers was telling me last year about how in our school there used to be a 'Mechanics and car maintenance' class for the guys, and 'Powder Puff mechanics' for the girls. The education system has a lot to do with it, encouraging girls to take different classes than guys... And as Bryan (my teammate) points out from behind me, there is no mechanics Barbie.
I really don't notice much difference between guys and girls in the robotics room. They all act nuts anyway.
