All-Girls Teams

FIRST General Forum
1

I was wondering how many teams out there are all-girls teams? I was on S.W.A.T. 771 last year and that was an all girls team from Oakville, Ontario … so i was wondering what other teams has no guys on it??

and while were at it … are there any all-boys teams ?? i havent heard of any teams like this but I think that it would be interesting to know …

296 is an all-guy team from an all-guy school in Montreal, but I’m guessing this is more common than all-girl teams.

i think crescent and st mikes (610 and… 1140?) i should remember st mikes team number… sorry guys… great workshop though =P would be all boys because they are all boys private schools anyways right?

also Emery Collegiate I believe this year has two teams entered, seperated into boys and girls? someone corrent me if im wrong

There are at least three all-girl teams in the Philadelphia area that I know of:

  1. Team #433 - The Firebirds - Mt. St. Joseph’s Academy -
    03 Philadelphia Xerox Creativity Award Winner, 03 Championship Division Quarter Finalists, 03 Ramp Riot Champion
  2. Team #709 - Agnes Irwin School (don’t know awards off-hand)
  3. Team#??? - Girls High - Philadelphia (don’t know awards off-hand)

There was an all-girl team (private girls school) at SVR last year, and one of their mentors and I inspected there, but I can not for the life of me remember the team name/number.
{edit}
The team is from St Francis High School, 692.
The FemBots

From what I have seen, I think all-girl teams are more common then all-boy teams. Well, teams from uni-sex schools, there are more from all-girl schools then all-boy schools. I know my team has a fair mix of male-females.

Team #1224 from NYC 2003 - “The Pius Princesses”
The 1st All Girls NY State/NE USA Catholic HS Robotics Team Ever!

There is another NYC school trying to form an all-girl team for 2005.

Regarding the Canadian Regional (which has some 80 teams this year), a team from St. Clements School (1291) is also on the list. I believe we have two all boys (610, 1049), and two all girls teams (771, 1291) competing there this year however this is diffucult to confirm. I am unsure as to how Emery C.I. is going to enter; there was talk about entrance with a girls’ team and a boys’ team however I think that idea was scrapped. Correct me of course if I’m wrong.

we have bunch of guys on our team… even though its a mix team (girls and boys)… i think there were 2 girls on the team last year… and now this year i think there are about 10 girls on the team which is pretty amazing…

Team 460, one of the winners of the Arizona regional is an all girls team.
Team 362, the muses are also an all girls team

Last year we were an all guys team, since then we have joined with an all girls school.

433 The Firebirds are an all Girls team.

i think somebody already pointed that out in the beginning of this thread…

13

Yeah… :rolleyes: I remember them…

The news crew(s) who kept following them around and just ignored all the other teams were really irritating. :mad:
They actually asked one of the girls on my team whether or not they were on the all girls team, and when she said “No.” they just said “Oh…” and shrugged her off and kept walking. That is very rude don’t you think?

I didn’t mind, the video did mention us soundy defeating them. lol

Hey,
Jonathan actually emery does has 2 teams, a boys and a girls :cool:
I my self is on an All boys team-1219, From Emery C I, tho our school also has an all girls team 1309.
We were allowed to split in 2 teams because of our huge team. this year we have 150 students(combined). So it will be a great year.

16

who sponsors you guys… and do you guys plan on having each members at the regionals or nationals… 150 members… (thats a lot)…sure can try for the spirit award…

17

First of all we have 150 guys combined on 2 teams so like 75 on each.

We had lots of sponsors last year and we do plan to take the whole team to canadian regional.

I am not in marketing team tho we had apotex, TDSB(our school board, pays the registrations fee, pretty nice eh?). I can remember any one else. Tho one of our biggest buddget was for transportation and food(this was the big one). Hope we got more sponsors this year.

And we will try for spirit award!

Another All Girls Team from California is the Archer School, I don’t know their team number so they might have already been mentioned.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Bellarmine in San Jose. They are all guys. (and to add to the confusion, there is also a Bellarmine in Tacoma, WA which is co-ed)
