Re: "I'm not that smart"
I generally find that some of the (pardon me) nerdier members of FIRST teams are not the best people to answer this question because they only solidify the steriotype. I would suggest bringing over the most sincere member of any given group, and have that person tell the mis-led passer-by that FIRST is the BEST way to get that smart! Mention the amazing mentors and the fact that FIRST aims at teaching kids how to have fun with technology. Remind them that every kid, especially you, started knowing nothing, and that this is the case for many FIRST team members. It only takes one season to be considered just as 'smart.'

PS You know, we're really just havin' fun - even if it happens to be considered smart....
