Re: A plea for a quieter pit area

I'll never forget the scene in Atlanta, 2008 when we were the first match after lunch on Friday with Simbotics. We had been fighting a drive trainsmission issue all day and took lunch to rebuild the transmission. At 12:58 we left the pits, and with the help of many forward advancing units had a clear pathway to (literally) run with the robot all the way from the pits to the field. We set it down at 1:02 (or so).

Not a single person (that I could hear) yelled 'robot'. There were some 'excuse me's, some 'coming through' and a 'we're late, look out!' or two, but I would say they were for a purpose that time.
