I wish CD had a like button. This thread is spot on.

Yes, I agree that people need to stay alert in the pits and stay clear of teams moving in and out, but shouting ROBOT as loud as you can it just annoying. It might actually, have the reverse affect because people, over time, may just tune it out.

I think what each team can (and should) do is limit the number of students in their pit to essential people only - 2 students, 3 at max. This is what our team does and it has two major effects:

1. Keeps the pit safe/organized
2. When our robot breaks, the best students are working on it which ensures that the robot is fixed as quick as possible and no time is wasted.
