Two Sides To Every Story

            From a guy’s perspective, it’s interesting having so many girls on the team. There’s so many new points of view (and the bot cave is so much cleaner), but there’s a lot more drama than with a mainly guys’ team. It’s definitely better, though, because guys (much as we hate to admit it) aren’t perfect. Between the better qualities of the guys and those of the girls, perfection is within the team’s grasp.
            It’s especially special working with the writing team. Usually there are about ten Bees in the CAD room, as we call it (though we don’t do CAD in here), three of which are male. The higher concentration of girls on the team this year has vastly increased the amount of writing that we can do during build season. That is not unusual; what is unusual is the high number of girls also working on building the robot.
            So how do I feel about the increasing proportion of girls on the team? I don’t mind. It seems to have improved the team, and that’s what I – and, I believe, most guys – care about. To bee concise, My point of view is: don’t worry, bee happy. It’s all going to bee sweet.
