This is exactly the problem. There is no need to notify the surrounding pits that your robot is coming through. The people in the surrounding pits don't need to know, don't care about your robot coming through, and don't need to hear your yelling. If you need to yell, you're doing it wrong.

The noise in there is already bad enough that I have to yell to someone standing right next to me, just so they can hear what tool to get from the box. Yelling over music and background noise is one thing. Yelling over other people yelling "robot!" is quite another, which I'd prefer to not do.
