Girls… err… uhm…
bah.
I was going to reply intelligently, but I think I’ve lost my ability to count.
But I think we’re 75ish% male. Could be a little more than that though. I guess that makes me a minority. 
We started out with 6 girls and 29 guys… now we have about 6 girls and 24ish guys… so tha ratio of girls to guys is about 1:4!

**we have 1 girl, yup count em 1 girl to the thirty two or so guys. Thats all right, we need at least one to keep us all in line, and keep things from getting lost. **

W00T! My team, as stated earler, has a ratio of 11 girls to 2 boys. I guess its ok, but sometimes, when we need to do “guy” things, we can’t. (I am not going to post, they are some-what inaproprate) I’m not complaining, but it wouldn’t hurt to get some more guies in our club. Mabye a 20:13 girl:guy ratio would be fine w/ me. Just so we (guies) can do what we want to. (Hit up on chicks w/ out being called pigs :D)
<Edit>I am the only male driver on our team:p The other one is the human player!</edit>
We don’t ration the boys. Any of the girls can have as many as they want. 
Out team is about 5:1 boys to girls, which is probably a better ratio than what you are going to see in many Engineering colleges in the fields of Electrical and Mechanical, most of the girls (ehh women) liked chemical engineering back when I graduated. I think there were a total of 3 or 4 women in my graduating class at Purdue in Electrical. Until things change that type of ratio is a drwaback to engineering which is why Dean and Woodie encourage everyone to participate.
Hey Alfred I was wondering if anyone was going to pop that in.
Matt I’ve been resisting for days but could not do it any more. Must be the spring break clouding my mind.
lol…
wings are gonna turn it around in vancouver and win this thing!
team 234 had a 50/50 ratio last year but this year it is like 10 girls to about 17 guys. which is pretty good.
I love being on a team with more girls than boys. We really know how to get things done and that is how it should be.
Recently there was an article in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle about girls getting more into science and technology and the X-Cats were featured!
X-Cats Rock the house!!
We have 2 girls to about 15 guys, sometimes more guys.
Over the past several years team #47 has had more female members than males.
2001 there were 20 female and 8 male team members
2002 there are 14 female and 13 male team members
This may be due in part to the high academic standards we have to become a FIRST team member.
I really hope that was a joke. It’s kind of offensive to imply that guys can’t reach the same levels of academic excellence that girls can. We may think differently, but that has no relevence on our ability to do well in school. In my graduating class, the top ten students were five girls and five guys (I was not one of them, sadly enough). Of course, if it was a joke, please excuse my rant.
Not to imply that guys are not as smart as girls.
What I really am saying is that there are many other choices for the male students that seem to attract them. Sports teams are a big attraction. Many times the girls do both sports and FIRST. The guys seem to focus on just one activity at a time.
While the choices for sports are supposed to be equal they really are not, due to when the sport is offered.
Add to that the responsibilities of an afterschool job and you reduced availability. Many male students choose - because of necessity - the job.
Overall, less male students apply to the team than female students. It has been that way for the past 7 years.
Thank you, Mike, for clarifying your point. I didn’t know that more girls applied than guys.
Members of my team of both sexes compete in both FIRST and other sports, so I’ve never seen it as a problem.

**Our ratio is 1.57 girls to each boy.
We got like 15 boys and two girls, a real bummer if you ask me!
I guess I’ll try to work on that next year, to get more girls involved I mean…
We have 7 guys and 5 girls. In the past, the ratio has been a lot more weighted towards guys, but this year, it’s close to equal. Even in the beginning of this year we had more guys, but we lost a few members for various reasons, and more of them were guys than girls.
The poll results are a bit disturbing: we have about 75% guys on our team, but ideally it should be 50/50, right? -Ameya on Team 293
Well, Ideally, it’d be about 250 girls and… me… that’d be MY robotics team if i had to choose… grin but we can’t all have what we want right? 
we have about 40 people on our team and girls include me, Kim Ehret, Michelle DeCarlo, and Nicole Kessler. 9 guys for every girl…not bad at all…
