Girls in Gear is a Girl Scout program to introduce scouts to engineering. In our area Team 341 is one of the big supporters.
On November 13, 2010 the VEXMEN (actually the VEXMEN girls) did a demo for the second year. About 70 scouts played Clean Sweep on a reduced sized field. We had created 4 squarebots with claws to move the green balls around. Those and two bigger robots from STEMRobotics were our players.
As with last year the Daisy groups were the most excited to be able to drive.
