I was organising the final details for the morning of a VEX competition with one of my team mates over msn, for which I was supposed to be transporting the robot;

K: Ok sweet as. I'm gonna try be there about 9.30ish, but we can't register til the bot is there
G: yeah
K: XD
G: Tell them we're beta testing the VEX invisibility kit or something lol
K: haha yeah I'm sure they'd believe that
"how am I supposed to measure the dimensions?"
"umm... carefully" lol

And in another discussion about our team mascot Gary the Gryphon (and his later invented girlfriend Gabby XD);

S: Mom says we should have a row of baby Gary's
G: nah uh, we're keeping this PG. Gary and Gabby are not procreating!

This is my first year not affiliated with a team (hopefully starting one next year!) so today I was super excited for the webcast. I started trying to explain what was going on to my room mate and she said "You're like a guy with football, but more excited!" Basically story of my life with FRC.

Student - "It weighs 89.9 pounds. Man (puts a wrench on) now it weighs 90 pounds. Yes!"

And during the competition, this really isn't a quote but it was funny. our robot in autonomous took out the trailer in front of our payload speciailist when there was no robot attached to it. Our payload specialist was thrilled
