Re: "I'm not that smart"
I go to the majority of the robot demonstrations that our team does and i get this a lot. I like seeing the kids faces when they look at the robot and say you built that. Then they proceed to ask how long did it take you to build the robot and when you reply six weeks their mouth drops. But then that statement comes i am not that smart enough to build some thing like that. At first i did not know what the best response to this statement was. But after a couple more demos i my response was it looks relay complicated as a hole but when you brake it down it is real just a bunch of simple concepts that allow you to construct a complicated machine. This response sames to work because after that the kids normally seem a little more interested in the program and don't seem to think of it as the geek club.
