Lady Cans fast Facts
Team Name: The Lady Cans Team Number: 2881
Location: Austin, Texas Rookie Season: 2009 Mission Statement: To introduce young women to science, technology, engineering, and math principles while developing their skills to be successful in a variety of careers. Vision Statement: Empowering young women through experience in STEM to become future leaders and executives. Team Motto: Ladies can, can you? School/Youth Organization: Girl Scouts of Central Texas The Story of PGBOP: I bet you're wondering what PGBOP is. Everyone does because it's weird Lady Cans specific slang that nobody outside our team knows. Luckily for you, I'm writing this short article. PGBOP stands for Pink, Green, Blue, Orange, and Purple- all the duct tape colors we use on our bow ties and hats. We picked the ultra bright shades because our photographer was colorblind and couldn't tell which team he was taking pictures of without our vastly different shades setting us apart. The History of Duck Tape: During our first build season Duck Tape began their product line in different colors. Since our 5 colors were also produced by Duck Tape we took the stereo typically masculine product and made it our own. At competition we decorate our hats with duct tape which has given us the nickname "Duct tape girls" Jessica, our Mascot: When you hand a group of girls several rolls of different color Duck Tape they begin producing awesome products, like a dress. Hand these same girls a computer and have them draw out a logo and one amazing mascot will be born. Combine the head of a robot with the duct tape dress, and you'll have Jessica (Originally a nameless robot girl). She had to wait a few years for us to finally settle on a name for her, but in 2013 she received the name "Jessica."
